Filter Script Presets

A Filter Script preset stores the contents of the Event Filter Editor under a name. Presets save you from retyping commonly used expressions and let you reuse the same filter across many studies. Filter Script preset commands are accessed through the Filter Script presets flyout button beside the Event Filter Editor and follow the canonical flyout-based preset patterns documented below.
