Manage Filter Configurations Dialog

Purpose

The dialog contains functions for managing filter configurations for the Align Models editor.

Configuration stores the current settings in the Settings dialog

• Create user-specific configuration with current settings

• Rename selected configuration

• Delete selected configuration

• Copy selected configuration

• Create model-wide configuration from a selected, user-specific configuration

Prerequisites

• You require the Edit Model-Wide Configurations privilege when renaming, deleting and preparing model-wide configuration.

• You require saved changes to rename, copy and prepare model-wide configuration

Call

The Manage Filter Configurations dialog appears with the  Align Models>Filter>Manage command.

Structure

The dialog consists of the list of configurations with the filter field in the list header, the toolbar of commands and the standard button Close.

• List of Configurations

  You can enter a name pattern in the <Filter> field above the structure content to restrict the entries displayed there.

  Icons split configurations into two groups:

  •  Model-wide configuration
  •  User-defined configuration

  A tool tip appears for each entry when you hover over it with the mouse; it shows information, e.g. for creating model-wide configurations.

• Command Toolbar

  The following commands can be used to manage the configurations.

  •  New

    Creates a new user specific configuration. It will be saved with the current settings, and it will be loaded then.

  •  Rename

    Rename the selected configuration. Renaming a configuration which has pending changes is not possible. Renaming a model-wide configuration requires the privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations'.

  •  Delete

    Delete the selected configuration. Deleting a model-wide configuration requires the privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations'.

  •  Copy

    Create a user specific copy of the selected configuration. The copy is loaded. Copying is not possible when the loaded configuration has no pending changes.

  •  Deploy

    Create a model-wide application configuration from the selected user-specific configuration. After deployment as a model-wide configuration, the user-specific configuration is deleted. The selected configuration must not have pending changes. The privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations' is required.

  •  View Content

    Opens a dialog which allows viewing the configuration as text. Changes are not possible.

  •  Edit Content (replaces View Content for defective configurations)

    Opens a dialog which allows editing the configuration as text. In this way can a configuration be repaired that cannot be loaded anymore.

    Proceed carefully as invalid structure changes may make the configuration unusable.
