TMG Filter Definition File Types

Filter definition files are plain text files that tell TMG how to filter person navigation windows Picklist and/or Project Explorer, and reports.

Each "List of" report has a filter file type.

These text files can be copied from one project to another project, or accessed from any project while working in another project.

This assumes you have saved your favorite filters with a meaningful or descriptive name, user filter 1.flc, is not very helpful. To accomplish this click the Add button under the Filtered group text box, when the Filter definition dialog window opens, click the Load button, then navigate to the project folder where the filter is located, select the filter you want. When you click OK the filter will be saved in the active project folder.
