Use temporary filtersBesides the filter pool with the defined or prepared filters, you can also use temporary filters.They are used in the same actions as the filters from the filter pool.The following text describes how to open a temporary filter pop-up. But you can also have the Command Filterwindow on one of your screens and use this.In the following text we are going to explore the temporary filters using the same examples as in the Use Filterswhen programming topic. If you have not read that, it is a strong suggestion to do that first.Temporary Store FilterYou can access the temporary Store filter by pressing the Store key. Now you got the Store Encoder Toolbar visibleat the bottom of screen 2. In this toolbar you will find a button called Store Filter . Tapping this will open a filtereditor pop-up. It works just as explained in the Create filters topic. There are two extra buttons on the right side ofthe pop-up. They are called "Reset Filter on Clear" and "Store Filter and Select".Reset Filter on Clear:Usually the filter will reset back to the selected filter when you do the (store) action, but if you want to keep thefilter. then you can activate this button. Then it is only the Clear(All) command that will reset to the selected filter.Store Filter and Select:Tapping this button will store the current filter settings as the next free available filter and you are prompted for aname. Also be aware that this new filter will be the Selected one. Not just the Applied filter.Example of the temporary store filterThe following example is the same as the one used in the Use filters when programming topic.We are going to look at a practical situation where filters can help you work more efficient.1. Use the "Demo Dimmer and more" demo show or a show with some fixtures.2. Make sure the Selected filter is the "All" filter so nothing is filtered already.3. Select a fixture and give it values on several attributes including Dimmer.So now we imagine that this is the look we want in a cue - it is going to be cue number 2.We do not want to use the move in black function but we want the fixture to already be pre-positioned when we runcue number 2. So we are going to store all data except the dimmer in cue number 1 and then the dimmer value incue number 2.4. Press Store and then the Store Filter button in the Encoder Toolbar.5. Turn off the "Dim" attribute in the Store filter pop-up.6. Press an empty executor button - creating a new cue 1 in a new sequence and executor.Now you have stored all values except the dimmer in cue number 1. You still have the dimmer values active in yourprogrammer, the rest is stored. The temporary filter is now gone and noting is filtered anymore.981
