Filter Script Presets

A filter script preset stores a filter expression under a name you choose, so you can reapply a favorite filter to any study without retyping it. Presets are handy for expressions you reuse often, such as a retrograde check or a sign filter.

You reach the preset commands from the filter script presets flyout button, which sits beside the Compile button in the Event Filter Editor. Clicking it opens a menu whose Presets entry lists your saved presets.
