Dragging and Dropping Filters
Drag and drop a filter to the filter bar to add a new filter entry. If you drag and drop a filter by keeping CTRL pressed, the filter bar will highlight the filter entry with a light blue background, and you can replace the highlighted filter text.
Drag and drop filters any of these ways:
◼ Inside the Filter panel
◼ From the Filter panel
◼ To the Filter panel
Filters can be dragged in and out of the Filters panel easily to create, organize, or apply filters, as shown below.
Some charts allow filters to be created by making a selection in the chart and clicking Create Filter in the chart’s context menu, or by dragging the selection to the Filter bar or Filter panel.
Inside the Filter Panel
◼ Within the Filter panel itself, filters can be dragged around to change their position inside their folder, or to move them from one folder to another. If the Control key is held when dragging, a copy is performed instead of a move.
◼ Folders cannot be copied or moved. It is only possible to change their position by dragging them within the same hierarchy level.
From the Filter Panel
◼ Filters can be dragged over an unapplied standard view in the Views panel, creating a filtered view.
◼ Filters can be dragged onto the Filter bar or onto an open view chart to apply them. Multiple filter selection using the Control key is supported:
◼ Two or more filters of the same type are applied as a single filter item in the Filter bar using OR.
◼ Two or more filters of different type will be set on as many filter items in the Filter Bar as the number of different filter types in the multiple selection. Filters of the same type use OR, otherwise AND is used.
◼ When a filter is dragged onto the filter bar and a previous filter of the same type is already set, the new one replaces the old one. A new filter can be applied to a previous filter using OR.
◼ or AND by holding, respectively, the Control or Alt key while dropping.
◼ A time filter can be dragged over the master controller at the bottom of a view to apply it. It can be dragged over a Strip Chart or Sequence Diagram to perform a time selection or over the Filter Bar to apply it to the view.
