User Settings

Users with the Manage Private Attribute Filters security right can view the attribute filters that they have created for filtering individual widgets on the Attribute Filters tab of User Settings. This tab does not include global attribute filters or filters that other users have shared. 

Filters are organized according to Product and Widget Type. To view a filter’s details, select it from the list; its details are displayed on the right side of the dialog. 

Users with this right can add, copy, edit, and delete their own attribute filters using the available buttons. Users who previously had this right but no longer do can still preview their attribute filters.

If you also have the Manage Shared Attribute Filters right, you can use the buttons available to access the Attribute Filter management dialog to share the filters you have created. Attribute filters that you share display an upward-pointing arrow shared icon. They can be used on widgets by members of the groups with which you have shared them. See Creating and Managing Attribute Filters for more information.

Application Settings

Users with the Manage Global Attribute Filters security right can view and manage application attribute filters, which are available to all users. To access them, go to Application Settings and open the Attribute Filters tab. From there, you can add, copy, edit, and delete application attribute filters.

For information on adding, copying, sharing, editing, and deleting attribute filters through the Attribute Filter Management dialog, see Creating and Managing Attribute Filters.
