Creating a QuickFilter (Error Data, Purify Coverage Data)

Related Topics

 

1.    Select one or more items you want to hide from the Data Browser window.

2.    Select View > QuickFilter from the Purify menu, or click images\qfilter.gif

Notes:

§      Purify creates and applies a filter for each selected item, and hides the items from the Data Browser window. Purify lists each error data filter in the Filter Manager: Error Data dialog box, and each coverage data filter in the Filter Manager: Coverage Data dialog box.

§      By default, Purify names the QuickFilter based on the selected item.

§      To change the name of an error-data filter or to edit it, use the Filter Properties dialog box.

§      To change the name of a coverage-data filter, use the Filter Manager dialog box.

§      QuickFilter is the fastest way to create and apply a filter and is especially useful when you need to hide specific messages while working in the Error View. For example, to investigate an error using just-in-time debugging, you can use QuickFilter to hide all errors preceding the target error.

§      In the Error View, you can create a QuickFilter by right-clicking one of the selected messages and selecting QuickFilter from the shortcut menu.

§      You can undo the most recently created QuickFilter by selecting View > Undo QuickFilter.

§      Purify saves filters for Error View messages in a Purify error filter file (.pft) and filters for coverage data in a PureCoverage filter file (.cft).

§      For details about filter file names and their locations, click images\shortcut.gif.
