Cutting and Pasting Filter Queries

Once Filter Query Step types have been defined and used as filters for additional steps, you must take care in deleting or moving the steps in the template. Keep in mind the following points:

• Deleting a Filter Query Step

  If you delete a Filter Query step from the template, you will receive a warning that the deletion will result in all references to all filters defined in that step will be deleted. If you choose to continue, the process will remove all step references to the deleted Script/Procedure + Filter ID values.

• Cutting and pasting a Filter Query Step to another location in the template

  • Pasting to a position above or ahead of the original position has no impact.

  • Pasting to a position below the original position will result in a warning message indicating that moving step will result in removal of references to the current filter query step above it’s new position if any exist.

    If you choose to continue, the process will remove all step references to the moved Script/Procedure + Filter ID values in steps that precede it in the revised template.

• Cutting and pasting a non-filter query step

  • Pasting to a position below the original position has no impact.

  • Pasting to a position above the original position will result in a warning message indicating that moving the step will result in removal of references to filter queries below it’s new position if any exist.

    If you choose to continue, the process will remove all step references to the impacted Script/Procedure + Filter ID values within the relocated step.
