How do I apply and design filters?

Applying a filter: A filter can be applied to any list or process that involves the current records of animals in the herd. When available all existing filters are listed in the filter drop down box which always appears in one of the menu bars.

When you select an item from the list of filters, that filter is immediately applied to the current animal records. The animal records are then limited to those animals that currently satisfy the filter definition. Any subsequent lists or analyses will be restricted to the filtered animals.

- displays the  Specify filter form where existing filter definitions can be reviewed/amended and new filters can be created.
- removes the currently applied filter. This icon is only visible when a filter is applied
