Copying a Data Source Filter

You can create a duplicate of a data source filter, letting you modify the copy without having to create an entire filter from scratch.

This process cannot be used to copy T-SQL data source filters.

Implementation:

  1. Switch to the Definition tab.
  2. Click to open the Model Data Sources window.
  3. Select the intended data source.
  4. If you have not already checked out the data source, do so by clicking .
  5. Click Filters to open the Data Source Filters window.
  6. Select the intended filter.
  7. Click Copy.

Copied filters are given a generic name based on that of the original. If you want to rename the duplicate, you will need to edit it.
