The Filter wizard creates reusable filters that restrict any subsequent operation to a subset of project data. Two modes are available:
•By expression (automatic) — the filter is defined by a boolean expression on object attributes; membership updates automatically when new data arrives.
•Manual — the user picks items explicitly from a tree of all project objects.
In Data manager right-click the Filters folder and choose Create filter.
•Filter name — unique label. The wizard refuses duplicates.
•Mode — By expression or Manual.
•Expression editor / tree view — the wizard swaps the right-hand panel depending on the mode. In expression mode the user types a boolean expression on object attributes; in manual mode the panel shows a tree of candidate items with checkboxes.
•Existing filters list — context menu offers add, copy and remove so multiple filters can be maintained in parallel.
Saved filters appear under Filters in the Data manager and can be applied to any procedure that accepts a filter argument (exports, property modelling, QC tools).
