Managing shared filters
Changing the ownership of a shared filter
Before changing the ownership of a shared filter, ensure that you inform the shared filter's current owner of your intentions.
- Choose > System.
- Select Shared Filters to open the Search Shared Filters page.
- Enter your search criteria into the 'Search' field and click the 'Search' button. A list of shared filters matching your search criteria is shown below. Each shared filter indicates its:
- Current owner — this is originally the user who created the shared filter
- List of shares applied to the shared filter by its owner
- Popularity — the number of users who have selected that shared filter as a 'favorite'.
- Click the 'cog' icon to the right of the shared filter whose ownership you wish to change and select 'Change Owner'.
- In the 'Change Owner' dialog box, enter the username (or name) of the user who will become the new owner of the shared filter.
- Select the appropriate user from the drop-down list and click the 'Change Owner' button.
Please note:
- A shared filter can only be edited by the shared filter's owner. The owner of a shared filter can only modify that filter's shares and search criteria too.
- You cannot change the ownership of a shared filter to a user who:
- already has a shared filter with exactly the same name, or
- does not have permission to view the shared filter.
Deleting a shared filter
Before deleting a shared filter, then out of common courtesy, ensure that you inform the current owner of the shared filter of your intentions.
- Choose > System.
- Select Shared Filters to open the Search Shared Filters page.
- Enter your search criteria into the 'Search' field and click the 'Search' button. A list of shared filters matching your search criteria is shown below. Each shared filter indicates its:
- Current owner — this is originally the user who created the shared filter
- List of shares applied to the shared filter by its owner
- Popularity — the number of users who have marked that shared filter as a 'favorite'.
- Click the 'cog' icon to the right of the shared filter you wish to delete and select 'Delete Filter'. The 'Delete Filter' dialog box is shown.
- The number of users who have marked the shared filter as a favorite is specified in this dialog box.
- If any subscriptions are associated with this shared filter, a numbered link is provided leading to a page which indicates the shared filter's current subscribers.
- If you are happy to proceed, click the 'Delete' button to complete the action.
