Creating a filter

You can retrieve or navigate translation units (TUs) easier and faster when you create filters that can be applied to the active translation memory (TM).

Procedure

  1. In the Translation Memories view, make the translation memory for which you want to create a filter the active translation memory.
  2. Select Home tab > Filters group > Add from the Ribbon.
  3. In the Search Details Window, enter the name of the filter in the Filter Name box. The new name is automatically displayed in the TM Filter box with an *asterisk next to it to indicate this filter is not saved.
  4. Click Add to add a new condition to the filter and open the Add Condition dialog box.
  5. Create the condition and click OK to save it and return to the Search Details window.
  6. If you want to add another condition to your filter, click:
    • Add to add a new condition below the existing condition.
    • Insert to add a new condition above the existing condition.
  7. If you have added two conditions, you must specify whether both conditions must be satisfied or just one of them:
    • Select AND if both must be satisfied.
    • Select OR if only one needs to be satisfied.
  8. If you want to negate a condition (put NOT in front of it) select the NOT check box for the condition.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 if you want to add additional conditions until you have completed the filter.
