and filters to executors and sequences topic
There is always one active filter. The first pool object is called "All" and it contains all attributes and layers. This
means that it does not filter any data. It is also locked and cannot be edited.
A filter can be applied(called) and/or permanently selected. An applied filter have a green bar in the middle (behind
the colored markers). A selected filter have a green background color in the name area (or number area in sheet
style). You can select a different filter by pressing
Select
followed by the desired filter button. You can call a
different filter temporarily by just pressing one of the filters.
A called filter overwrites the selected filter, but will only be used the next time an action is performed that uses the
filter - then it will jump back to using the selected filter.
When a different filter than the "All" filter is selected, then the
At
key will flash and the filter icon
is in the
command line and Message Center (default setting).
For more information about the colors and markers please read the
The data Layer Markers are only visible if there is one or more being filtered. It will then display the allowed layers. If
all layers are Off (filtered) then there is also no markers. This would block all value data from passing the filter!
