Filter the Document Structure

Created on 10th June 2024 at 17:41 by Jamie O'Connell



The Filter tool in the Structure panel is a useful tool.

  • In the Master Document Editor, this is very useful when ensuring you assign the correct content to a Content Group.
  • In the Job Editor, this is very useful for filtering out (for example) all but the overset text segments.

This lesson demonstrates how to apply filters in the Document Structure panel.

NOTE: Items that are not matched by the filter are inactive in the editor (i.e. they cannot be clicked on, and any status markers will disappear). This remains true until the filter is either switched off or changed. Spreads containing no active items are grayed out as thumbnails.

Select a Filter

To filter the items within the document structure:

  1. Click on the Filter area to expand it.
  2. Click on the + (plus) icon to open the filter menu.
  3. Choose a property to add to your filter.

NOTE: Multiple filters may be chosen at once, and their properties combined for precise filtering of content. For example, all overset text segments (via: Text Overset) on a specific layer (via: Item Layer).

Apply a Filter

To apply a filter to the document structure, do the following:

  1. Set up the properties (e.g. checkboxes, choices from a list, etc.) for the filters you added from the + (plus) menu.
  2. Click the checkmark to apply your filter to the document structure. The checkmark button is a toggle, so clicking this button again will switch the filter off.
  3. The bottom of the Filter area displays a summary of the matches to your filter.
  4. The structure window now contains only those items that are matched by your filter.

NOTE: In the above example, we have used the Item Type filter to filter out everything except the images in the document.  As shown, the filter matched zero text segments and three images.

Combine multiple Filters

To use a combination of two or more filters, do the following:

  1. Add multiple filters from the + (plus) menu, one at a time.
  2. Set up any chosen filter properties.
  3. Click the checkmark to apply your filter to the document structure. The checkmark button is a toggle, so clicking this button again will switch the filter off.

NOTE: In this example, we have chosen both Item Type and Item Layer. We have used this combination to filter out everything except the images on the layer named Placeholders.

NOTE: Any number of filters may be combined. You are not limited to two.

Filter Options – Overview

The filter options for the Structure Panel are as follows:

  • Item Status (Job Editor only): 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).
