Not actually true. If a rule contains filters and then becomes the root for 
a group of subrules, the filters are hidden. You can get them back

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

[Grant]

Thanks everyone!  That helped a lot.  Weird process - considering there is 
no manual for this.  

One thing that confused the heck out me, and I am still not sure if its a 
bug or a feature, is if you have an existing rule selected, say at the end 
of the list, and click on 'add sub-rule'  that it basically deletes the 
rule you have selected, and starts a blank one for sub-rules

Similarly, you cannot start with nothing, or no rule selected, and click on 
'add sub-rule'.  When I do, nothing happens.  I have to first New Rule, and 
then with that selected, 'add sub-rule' 

What I did like is that you can drag and drop rules, which makes playing 
with the filter until it works handy.

Cheers,

Grant

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

['Michael Emerald, CFA' via MyLifeOrganized]

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,

 

Michael Emerald, CFA

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!

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

[Dwight Arthur]

Here's the brief answer, I hope this helps. If not, write back and ask for 
the step-by-step directions


You almost got it. The missing piece is that you need a rule whose only 
function is to determine whether the tree of rules below it will be ORed or 
ANDed to any other rules. So, create a subrule, leave it essentially empty, 
and then put your sub filters at the next level down
