Hello Grant.

 

Without getting too detailed, here’s how I edit them.  When you click the “add 
subfilter” button to the right, you are creating a new kind of filter, a filter 
GROUP.  Within the new group, you can add as many filters as you like, 
combining them as AND/OR as desired.  Finally, remaining is to specify how that 
new group relates to the other conventional filters which you are acquainted 
with.

 

It took me a while to get used to them, but once I did they became simple to 
use, except for cases with complicated filter conditions.

 

BTW, I also use those groups to combine similar filter conditions.  E.g., I put 
all my text tag conditions into one sub-filter, all my flag conditions into one 
sub-filter.  That way the overall filter looks cleaner.  In this example a 
sub-filter is unnecessary.  But I group similar filters rather than have 10 or 
so lines of filters.  This way I have two filter groups, each with 5 similar 
conditions: flags and text tags.

 

Take Care,

Subject: [MLO] Advance Filter: subfilters, how-to?

 

Hi,  I can not get my head around how to add subfilters in the Advanced Filter. 
 When I create a top level filter, and click on the 'subfilter'  button to the 
right, the conditions of the top-level filter disappear, and only the 'AND/OR' 
remains.  If I try to edit that, I only get the option to precede it with 'NOT' 
and maybe some other conditions.  The parameters are gone, eg 'is starred'.

 

The HELP file contains no details on using the Advance Filter, so I have come 
here for help, or a pointer to better instructions.

 

Thanks!

Grant
