Structure

The current filter criteria can be viewed and edited in the main area of the window (3) . The management tools are located in the header on the right (2). The name of a filter is displayed on the left (1) if it is a saved filter. An asterisk (*) next to the name indicates that the currently set criteria differ from the saved criteria, i.e. they are not saved.
