Notes:
§ Purify also provides default global filters to filter messages for known problems in third-party and system modules. To display global filters, select View > Global Filters in the Filter Manager dialog box.
§ By default, Purify hides messages that match the message types and sources specified in a filter. Use the Advanced tab in the filter Properties dialog box to invert a filter so that Purify hides messages that do not match the filter. This is especially useful when you want to see only messages that originate in a specific DLL, for example.
§ Creating or updating a filter affects all runs to which the filter can apply, including runs prior to the filter creation.
§ To move a filter or filter group, select the filter or group and drag and drop it to a new location. To copy the filter or group to a new location, press the Ctrl key when you drag and drop.
§ Purify saves error filters in a Purify filter file (.pft). For details about filter file names and their locations, click . To share filters and filter groups, team members can copy .pft files to their local machines.
