| |
| <p> |
| If you have been using the Remote System Explorer for some |
| time, your workspace might contain too many filters to navigate easily. |
| Or, |
| you might just want to keep groups of filters separate if, for example, |
| you |
| need to represent two distinct server environments in the Remote System |
| Explorer, |
| regardless of how many filters you have. In either case, you can group |
| filters |
| into <i>filter pools</i>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| All filters live in filter pools, but these remain hidden unless you choose |
| to manage them explicitly. If you do not manage them yourself the Remote |
| System Explorer manages them for you and all of your filters appear together |
| in all connections. When you create filter pools, however, any filter you |
| create within that filter pool is only present in connections that reference |
| that filter pool, and will not appear in any other connections. (See the |
| related links for more information about filter pools.) |
| </p> |
| <p>To illustrate the use of filter pools,</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li><span>Click the menu button <img src="../images/gsarrow.gif" alt=""/> on |
| the toolbar for the Remote Systems view, and select <b>Show Filter |
| Pools</b>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Expand the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Local </span>system |
| and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Local Files</span> subsystem, |
| and you can now see your filters |
| listed under <b><i>Connection name</i> Filter Pool</b>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Right-click <b>Local Files</b> and select <b>New > |
| Filter Pool</b>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Enter a pool name and click <b>Finish</b>. (You do not |
| need to |
| change your profile selection.) Your new filter pool displays |
| underneath your |
| connection.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Right-click your new filter pool and select <b>New > |
| Filter</b><b></b>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Complete the wizards as you normally would (see related |
| tasks). |
| When you are finished, you can see your new filters displayed in your |
| new filter pool.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| If you decide not to see the filter pools anymore, click |
| the menu |
| button <img src="../images/gsarrow.gif" alt=""/> on the toolbar for the |
| Remote |
| Systems view, and select <b>Show Filter Pools</b> again to deselect |
| the check |
| mark. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note: at time this filter pool names cannot contain three consecutive underscore characters. |
