You can also filter the document structure so that only specific Job elements are shown/active.

1. Click on the Filter at the bottom of the Structure Panel to expand the filter area.
2. Click on the + (plus) icon to open the menu of filter types.
3. Choose a filter type you wish to apply to the structure.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add multiple filters at once.

The filter options for the Structure Panel are as follows:

• Item Status: Filter the document structure by the status of job items, e.g., all items marked as done. Multiple statuses can be combined.
• Item Type: Filter the document structure by one or more item types, e.g., all images.
• Item Revision: Filter the document structure to show items that were edited during a specific date and time range. It is also possible to filter by revision numbers.
• Item ID: Filter the document structure by the item IDs. An item's ID can be found in the Text Info or Image Info panels.
• Item Layer: Filter the document structure to show all items on a particular layer. Multiple layers can be chosen at once.
• Text: Filter the document structure to show all text segments containing a specific piece of text. Regular expressions can be used for pattern matching.
• Text Attribute: Filter the document structure by text-styling attributes, e.g., paragraph style, text size, etc.
• Text Overset: Filter the document structure to show or hide all text segments containing overset text.
• Text Spelling: Filter the document structure to show or hide all text segments containing spelling errors.
• Text Rule: Filter the document structure to show or hide all text segments containing Text Rules or styling overrides.
• Image Path: Filter the document structure by the filename/path of an image, e.g., all images with "iStock" in the filename. Regular expressions can be used for pattern matching.

NOTE: Multiple filter properties can be combined. For example, all text items (Item Type) that are on layer XYZ (Item Layer).

To filter the document structure:

1. Choose a filter type from the menu and set it up. In this example, we have chosen Text Overset and checked the Match Oversets option to filter in (not out) the overset text.
2. Click the checkmark button to apply the chosen filter to the document structure. This is a toggle button, so clicking it again will deactivate the filter.
3. The structure has now been filtered (in this case, to all segments that contain overset text), and the bottom of the Filter area displays a summary of the filtered items.

NOTE: Only those items filtered into the document structure are now active in the Job. All items that were filtered out are inactive (i.e. not editable) until the filter is switched off by clicking the checkmark button again.

To apply a combination of two or more filters to the document structure, do the following:

1. Choose the desired filter types. In this example, we have chosen the Text Overset Filter and the Text Attribute Filter.
2. We want to filter in all of the overset text in a table. We choose to Match Oversets and then choose the table-text-std Paragraph Style in the Text Attribute filter. This is the style used for our table text.
3. Apply the filter by clicking the checkmark button. We can see that there is 1 text item that matches these filter options.
4. The overset text in the table cell is filtered into the structure, and becomes the only active item in the document preview.
5. Any spread thumbnail not containing an active item is grayed out, so it is easy to visually check where the items are in the document.
