58Filters allows you to group together into a subcollection all documents in an
59index for which a metadata value matches a given pattern.
60<p></p>
61To create a filter, click the "Define Filters" tab and enter a name for the
62new filter into the "Name the subcollection filter" field. Next choose a
63document attribute to match against, either a metadata element or the name of
64the file in question. Enter a regular expression to use during the matching.
65You can toggle between "Including" documents that match the filter, or
66"Excluding" them. Finally, you can specify any of the standard PERL regular
67expression flags to use when matching (e.g. "i" for case-insensitive matching).
68Finally, click "Add Filter" to add the filter to the "Defined Subcollection Filters"
69list.
70<p></p>
71To remove a filter, select it from the list and click "Remove Filter".
72<p></p>
73To alter a filter, select it from the list, change any of the values that
74appear in the editing controls and click "Replace Filter" to commit the changes.
