Import filter

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 import filters from filter export files (.filter). These files are automatically created when you export a filter. Use the files to deliver all contained method extensions from one tenant to another or to overwrite the current content of a related filter.

Warning

If a filter with the same GUID already exists, it will be overwritten. To merge filters, first copy the current filter and import the older version of the filter. You can then merge the two versions.
