Editing filters

You can change the properties for any filter by opening the filter's properties dialog box. You can also add new filter strings to a filter from this dialog box. For example, if you have a filter that lists all *.rpgle source members, you can add an additional filter string that will display all *.cblle source members as well.

About this task

To change a filter:

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection name, and then your subsystem to view the list of your filters.
  2. Right-click the filter you want to change and select Properties.
  3. In the Properties window, click Filter Strings to change the filter's specifications (what the filter lists from the remote server). For example, change the value in the Library field. Then click Apply.
    • If you want to add extra filter strings for your filter, click New filter string and complete the dialog box. Then click Apply.
  4. Click OK.

Results

Tip: You can drag and drop filters from one subsystem or filter pool to another. However, they need to be of the same subsystem type. Also, if you drag a filter into another filter, the target filter is updated with filter strings from the first filter, to combine them.
