Manage Filters

The filter management provides a centralized overview of all saved search and column filters and can be accessed from both the sample list and the results table.

Navigation

Open the filter management via:
Navigation bar → Samples → Manage Samples → My Filters → Filter
Note: The My Filters option appears above the sample list as soon as you have saved at least one filter. The Public Filters option appears as soon as a filter created by another user has been shared with you.

Alternatively, you can open the filter management from the result table:
Result table → My Column Filters → Filter
Note: The My Column Filters option appears above the results table as soon as you have saved at least one filter. The Public Column Filters option appears as soon as a filter created by another user has been shared with you.

Description

The filter management is divided into two sections displayed side by side:

Search Filter for Sample List

Contains saved search filters that are applied to the sample list.
Note: Filter names highlighted in blue are clickable links that open the respective filter directly and display the sample list with the corresponding filter applied.
Further information on creating a search filter for the sample list: Manage samples

Column Filter for Result Table

Contains saved column filters that control the display of the result table. These filters cannot be opened directly, but can be opened automatically via a linked search filter.
