Merge filters

Use filters to support uniform modeling and accelerated evaluation for each tenant. Filters provide users with only the information and methods relevant to them.

You can combine filters quickly based on your existing filters by merging them. In this way, you create project-specific filters, for example, based on similar prior projects. You can then edit the filters and modify them to match project-specific requirements.

    Use configuration languages to specify the names and descriptions of all items that are managed in the Configuration section for this tenant, such as method items, filters, templates, font formats, content type sets, and evaluation scripts.

    The Configuration administrators create the set of configuration languages that are available on a tenant.
