The Custom Filter Editor builds custom filters that can be used to select people included in reports, exports, and other tools and utilities. This is in fact a very powerful tool in genealogical analysis.
When you launch it, the {{man label|User defined filters}} dialog appears that lists all the filters (if any) previously defined by you. Click the {{man button|Add...}} button to define a new filter. Once you have designed your filters, you can edit, test, and delete selected filters using the {{man button|Edit...}} , {{man button|Test...}} , and {{man button|Delete}} buttons, respectively. All the filters displayed in the list will be automatically saved along with your database and will be available with subsequent sessions of GRAMPS.
{{man note|1=Changes on filters |2=The changes made to the filters only take effect when you click the {{man button|Apply and close}} button.}}
