View Filter


 

A view filter is used to restrict the packets that are displayed in a document's view (e.g. Packet List View). In contrast to a capture filter the view filter does not reduce the amount of packets stored in the document. So there is no risk of losing packets when view filters are set up.

To add or change a view filter for the current view, click the View Filter button , use the View > View Filter menu command, or press F10 on the keyboard. This will open the Settings dialog where you can modify the filter's parameters.

To remove a view filter completely from a view, click the Remove View Filter button , use the corresponding menu command in the View menu, or press Ctrl+F10 on the keyboard.

 

Note: If you remove a view filter and than add one to the same view again, the settings dialog will use the address filter values of the previous filter. So you can apply the previous filter by simply clicking OK. If you want to clear these values, go the Save and Load page in the Settings dialog and click Reset All.
