The Create/Edit Layer Filters dialog is displayed which lists all pre-defined filters available for editing and their status.

Click Add to create a customized filter by selecting (or
deselecting) the check boxes for the layers available in the Layers list.
Important: A minimum of one layer must be selected in order for the filter to be considered valid.If any of the filters do not have at least one layer/ply selected from the list, then Undefined will be displayed in the Status column (next to the filter name). A warning message will appear if you attempt to close the dialog with undefined filters displayed in the list.If only one layer is selected, the Contour and Iso panels will only show that layer without any aggregation modes of Min/Max/Extreme/Sum/Average/Range.If multiple filters are defined, clicking on each filter name in the Filters list will display the layers selected for that filter.
- Optional: Update any existing filters and layers in the list.
