Hover your mouse over the Current Filter

icon to see a summary of the filters currently applied to the structure.

In the Current Filter window, select the Use Tab View check box to toggle the view from the single page mode to the tab mode. Toggling the view to tab mode presents details of configuration specifications and Option Filter in separate tabs. This allows you to view the choices defined for the Option Filter and to better understand the Option Filter definition by viewing the option groups and sorting.

• Single-page mode: The default view of the Current Filter window. In this mode, the details of configuration specifications and filters are displayed on a single page.

• Tab mode: When you select the Use Tab View check box, the configuration specifications and the defined filters, such as Path Filters, Attribute Filters, and so on, are displayed in separate tabs. However, undefined filters are not displayed. In the Option Filter tab, the Selected Choices table has the Search in table feature that is unavailable in the single page mode.

In both views, the sorting order of the choices in the Selected Choices table is displayed based on the choice name.

When you apply a saved filter or a variant specification, the current filter window displays the name of the saved filter or the variant specification in the title block.
