Setting Filter Overrides

Use the Filter Override Options window to override the filtering thresholds in the Diagrams User Preferences. If the diagram has already been generated, choosing an override option redraws the diagram with the new filter applied.
Note: These settings do not persist between Diagrammer sessions.
  1. Click on the tool bar and choose Filter Override Options in the drop-down. The Filter Override Options window opens.
  2. Select Filters Enabled to enable filtering.
  3. Select Hide Utilities to hide objects with many inputs, DATEFMT, for example. Specify the filtering thresholds for inputs and outputs:
    • In the Incoming Relationships field, enter the filtering threshold for incoming relationships.
    • In the Outgoing Relationships field, enter the filtering threshold for outgoing relationships.
  4. Select Hide Drivers to hide objects with many outputs, a startup program, for example. Specify the filtering thresholds for inputs and outputs:
    • In the Incoming Relationships field, enter the filtering threshold for incoming relationships.
    • In the Outgoing Relationships field, enter the filtering threshold for outgoing relationships.
  5. Select Hide High Input Nodes to hide objects with many inputs that do not meet the incoming relationship threshold for utilities. Specify the thresholds for inputs in the With Incoming Relationships field.
  6. Select Hide High Output Nodes to hide objects with many outputs that do not meet the outgoing relationships threshold for drivers. Specify the thresholds for outputs in the With Outgoing Relationships field.
Tip: Select Reset Values to restore the filtering thresholds to their settings in the Diagrams User Preferences.
