Modifying an Existing Filter

You can modify any filter that you have created or that you have write permission on. You cannot modify any of the default filters that are supplied with Notification Server. You cannot modify any filters that are added by hierarchy replication from a parent Notification Server. Only the filters that were created on your Notification Server can be edited locally. The only action that you can perform on a read-only filter is to update the filter membership.
If you want to modify a read-only filter, clone it to create a new filter, and then modify the new filter to suit your requirements. When you modify a filter, you can modify the filter query and the specific inclusions or exclusions, but you cannot change the query type.
This task is a step in the process for creating or modifying a filter.
