User-Defined Filters and Filter Sets
User-Defined Filters
As all terminology data are stored in a central database, it is important to be able to use search filters for specific search queries, e.g. to limit the search to terms attributed to a particular subject. By default, Across provides a number of filters referred to as quick filters. Additionally, user-defined filters can be set up for search queries of a more complex or specific nature.
To apply a user-defined filter to a search, select the respective filter from the drop-down list in the search area of crossTerm (in the crossTerm Manager or in crossDesk):
User-defined filters are displayed in the form of a 
icon in the drop-down list.
Filter Sets
Apart from using quick filters and user-defined filters, filter sets can also be used for search queries in crossTerm.
crossTerm filter sets consist of several user-defined crossTerm filters and enable complex search queries using multiple filters. When configuring a filter set, you can combine the filters according to your needs. When running search queries on the basis of a filter set, the search takes place across all filters. All terms that at least one of the filters applies to will be displayed.
To apply a filter set to a search, select the respective filter set from the drop-down list in the search area of crossTerm (in the crossTerm Manager or in crossDesk):
Filter sets are displayed in the form of a 
icon in the drop-down list.
Creating and Managing Filters
Select the menu item Tools > Manage User-Defined Filters/Filter Sets to access the dialog window in which you can create and manage user-defined filters and filter sets. All previously defined filters are listed under the respective tabs.
