Filters

The Filters feature enables you to customize your view of a format definition file by grouping device pages together in a display order. Filter configurations are saved in the current workspace, and cannot be transferred to another workspace.
Note: The filtering option is not available for the Source page.

Filters display the available device pages in order, as you look at the Preview pane or design canvas. The name of the current filter is displayed below the selection button.

Select a filter

Use the Select a filter menu to select a filter from the list of available filters. If a filter is currently being applied, the name of the filter is displayed below the selection button.

Click New to create a new filter. Click Remove to delete the current filter.

Select the device pages to be revealed by this filter

Set the order of the device pages to be shown in the selected filter.

Moving a device page higher in the list will change the z-order, placing it in front of the lower ordered device page (when viewed in the design canvas or Preview pane). For example, the second device page is placed behind the first, the third is placed behind the second, and so on.

To remove a device page from the filter, clear the box beside the device page name. Device pages that are not selected will not affect the display of selected pages.

The fields of the highest-ordered page are accessible for editing.
