Working with filters
Filters are created and managed on three page levels:
 The ID Settings page lists all filters and validators
and contains a link to the Item Filters page.
 The Item Filters page lists all item filters and en-
ables you to test the filters as a group. Here you
can also delete filters and access the Add and Edit
Item Filter pages.
 The Add and Edit Item Filter pages are where you
create and edit filters and test them individually.
To return to a higher-level page, use the navigation bar
in the top left corner of the page.
The filter commands are described in “
ID filter language”
beginning on page
46.
