Editing a Filter Set's Attributes and Values

Filters within Crew Manager are used to narrow the number of lodgings, crews and members that are displayed on the page. Filter sets can be saved and loaded for use at a later time. As your company's use of the ARCOS Crew Manager grows the number of attributes and values will grow to meet your company's needs meaning there may come times when you need to add to a filter or remove items from a filter.

This topic covers:

• Adding a Filter Item to a Filter Set

• Adding a Value to an Existing Filter Item

• Removing a Filter Item from a Filter Set

• Removing a Value from an Existing Filter Item

Note: Changes to a filter set are not applied to your current view until the Filter Sets menu is closed or the apply check mark is clicked.

To Add a Filter Item to Filter Set

1. Click the Filter Set button within the mode toolbar.

   

2. Click the Load an Existing Filter Set button. ARCOS displays a pop-up list of existing filters.

4. Click the plus sign next to the Attr Name header to add a new filter item. ARCOS displays a list of available crew level attributes.

   

5. Click on an attribute to add it to the filter set. By default, the new filter items do not contain any values which causes all crews to be removed from your current view.

6. Click in the attribute's Chosen Values field to select which values of the attribute you wish to see when using the filter. ARCOS displays the currently available values in a dropdown.

7. Select the values you of the attribute you wish to see when using the filter from the dropdown for the attribute.

   

Note: It is best practice to include "None" in your filter so a crew is not lost when create a new one. If you do not include "None" in the filter and you create a new crew, ARCOS will assign the crew the minimum attributes so that the crew displays in your current view.
