Importing Search Filter Sets

Not only can you add new search filter sets, but you can also import an existing search filter set (FLSFS file).

How to Import a Search Filter Set

Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
- Ribbon Select Project > New > Advanced > Search Filter Set.
- Right-Click In the Project Organizer, right-click on the Advanced folder and from the context menu select Add Search Filter Set.
The Add File dialog opens.
Select New from existing and click .
Find and select the FLSFS file that you want to import.
Click Open. The Source File field now contains the path to the file that you are importing. Also, the name of the file is displayed in the File Name field.
If you want to give the search filter set a different name than that for the imported file, click in the File name field and replace the text.
(Optional) If you want to apply condition tags to the file, expand the Attributes section at the bottom of the dialog. Next to the Condition Tags field, click and select the conditions you want to apply. Click OK. See Applying Conditions to Content.
(Optional) If you want to apply file tags, expand the Attributes section at the bottom of the dialog. Next to the File Tags field, click and select the file tags you want to apply. Click OK. See Associating Tags With Files.
Click Add. The search filter set is added and opens in the Search Filter Set Editor.

Note As an alternative to importing single files from another location, you can import linked files from a Flare source project using a featured called "Global Project Linking." This is different than a simple import process, because in this case, the imported files remain linked to the source project. This lets you make future updates to those files in just one place—in the parent project. When you perform ongoing imports using your previous settings, Flare recognizes changes to the source files. Therefore, the new files can be brought over, replacing the outdated ones. See Global Project Linking—Importing Files From Other Projects.

What’s Next?

After you import a search filter set, you can insert concepts into topics (if you have not already done so). After that, you can create search filters based on the concepts that you inserted.
