13The section explains how to define a partition filter.

16Filters allow you to group together into a subcollection all documents in an
17index for which a metadata value matches a given pattern.
18<p></p>
19To create a filter, click the "Define Filters" tab and enter a name for the
20new filter into the "Subcollection filter name:" field. Next choose a
21document attribute to match against, either a metadata element or the name of
22the file in question. Enter a regular expression to use during the matching.
23You can toggle between "Including" documents that match the filter, or
24"Excluding" them. Finally, you can specify any of the standard PERL regular
25expression flags to use when matching (e.g. "i" for case-insensitive matching).
26Finally, click "Add Filter" to add the filter to the "Defined Subcollection Filters"
27list.
28<p></p>
29To remove a filter, select it from the list and click "Remove Filter".
30<p></p>
31To alter a filter, select it from the list, change any of the values that
32appear in the editing controls and click "Replace Filter" to commit the changes.
