Applying the Advanced Display Filter
Use the Advanced Display Filter to combine specific search criteria for segment filtering in the Editor view.
Procedure
Reverse filter search
Reverse the current filter to display the opposite results for the current search. For example, reversing the search for the word printer will display all segments that do not contain this word. Filter reversing is particularly useful when working with regular expressions as negative patterns are more complex.
Highlight filtered segments
Use highlighting to emphasize the segments filtered by a search or to differentiate between segments filtered by different searches. After applying a search filter, click Highlight and choose one of the available colors from the list. All the segments filtered by the current search are marked with the selected highlighting color. You can use different highlighting for subsequent searches. When you clear the filter, all the segments available in the Editor are displayed, showing all the highlighting you have applied. This helps you differentiate between the results of different searches.
Comment filtered segments
After applying a filter, you can add information about the filtered segments in a comment. Right-click in the Editor view and select Add comments to all filtered segments. Select a Severity level, add a comment and click OK. The comment is displayed in the Comments view together with all the other file-level and segment-level comments.
Save filter
It might be useful to save a filter if you will be using it again. Click Save to save your search criteria in an .SDLADFSETTINGS file on your computer. You can reuse this later to search through the segments of a different document. Click Load to select the settings file and reapply the filter. Loading a filter autofills the fields for which search criteria has been defined.
Generate list of filtered segments
Export the filtered segments to open them separately in the Editor view. For example, after filtering out all translated segments you can generate an .SDLXLIFF file and send out for translation only the remaining segments. The Advanced Display filter does not support exporting segments from virtually merged files.
