When using a data table with many columns, you often have just as many filters. Sometimes it can be hard to find the filter you wish to manipulate by scrolling through the filters panel. A quick way to find a certain filter is to use the search function at the top of the filters panel.
Note: The filter search will not display filters that have been explicitly hidden. To search among all filters, you must first show them all. This can be done by clicking on the Show all link at the bottom of the filters panel.
To search for a filter:
Type
a search expression in the search field at the top of the filters
panel.
Any filters with names that do not match this are hidden from the filters panel. As you enter text, the filters panel is continuously updated with the filters whose names begin with the current substring.
To show all filters again, just clear the search box.
You can use wildcards and boolean operators to search for parts and combinations of words. For a listing of the basic search syntax, see Searching in TIBCO Spotfire.
Filters specific search:
Type status:modified to find all filters which have been modified.
Type datatable:<datatablename> where <datatablename> for example could be "Sales Data", to find all filters for a specific data table if you have several in your analysis. Type a part of a name or use quotation marks to search for explicit data table names.
