Filter Manager Dialog Box

Related Topics

Use the Filter Manager dialog box to hide functions based on module names, source file names, and function names. You can choose whether to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters when filtering data.

The Filter Manager tabs list fully-qualified names and pattern strings used to hide functions. The Modules tab also lists all modules that contain functions for which PureCoverage collected data. Initially, PureCoverage filters out non-critical data from system libraries and other modules, files, and functions.

These are the main controls in the Filter Manager tabs:

Modules filter list

Files filter list

Functions filter list, Procedures filter list, or Methods filter list (depending on the program you're monitoring)

Pattern

Add

Remove

Case sensitive

Save Settings

Revert to Saved

Reset to Default

Apply

Notes:

§      When you filter functions by pattern strings, PureCoverage compares the pattern strings against function names and hides all functions in all modules, that match the pattern. PureCoverage uses the full name to match patterns, regardless of settings in the Function Name, Procedure Name, or Method Name dialog box.

§      Click Save Settings to save any changes you made for future runs of the program. PureCoverage saves the filters you create in a PureCoverage filter file (.cft).

§      If you create, edit, and apply filters, and then want to use your previously saved filters, click Revert to Saved, and then click Save Settings again to save it for future runs. If you want to use the PureCoverage global filters again, click Reset to Default, and then click Save Settings again to save it for future runs.

§      Warning: Using the options in these tabs could accidentally hide all data from the data coverage windows. To avoid this situation, PureCoverage reapplies your previous filters. If an Annotated Source window is open for a file and you filter all the functions in that file, PureCoverage closes the window.

§      Right-click a selected filter to display a shortcut menu for working with the filter.
