Overwriting Filters Locally

A reusable filter is a global object that cannot be changed in the context of a query. You can make a local object from this kind of filter however.

Procedure

If you want to make changes to the filter in the context of your query, choose Dereference from the context menu.
The system creates a local copy of the filter.
Enter a new description.
Make the required changes to the local filter object.

Results

You have used the global filter object as the basis for a local filter object. You can use this filter in the context of your query, but not in other queries.
