In the Filtering Scheme Properties dialog you can view and change the settings for the filters in a filtering scheme. The different filter types have slightly different settings as described below. The properties specified for a filter in this dialog affect all pages and visualizations where the current filtering scheme is used.
Note: The visibility and order of filters within a data table group are instead handled per page, using the Organize Filters dialog.
To reach the Filtering Scheme Properties dialog:
Right-click in the Filters panel on a page where the filtering scheme of interest is used.
From the pop-up menu, select Filtering Scheme Properties.

When selecting a range filter, you can modify the Data range and Scale. Select either Automatic data range (default) or Specific data range. If you selected Specific, you can either click the Range from Filtered button to set the data range to what the range slider is currently set to, or, you can manually enter a Min and Max value in the fields. You can also select whether the scale should be Original or Log10 from the drop-down menu. |

When selecting a hierarchy filter, you can modify the hierarchy by clicking on the Edit button that appears inside the Filter settings area. |
Filter
settings |
When selecting a list box filter, you can modify the appearance of the filter. The check box "Show search field" allows you to set if the search field is displayed in the filter or not. You can set the number of rows shown in the filter by typing a number or setting the number with the arrows. |
Note: Most of the settings in this dialog, such as renaming a filter, changing the filter type or range filter scale, will not be affected when you select Reset Filter or Reset All Filters from the right-click menu in the Filters panel. Resetting a filter only affects modifications related to filtering of the data; for example, clearing any check boxes in a check box filter, or narrowing down the range of values in a range filter.
