Filter Rules

A Filter Rule allows you to select a subset of data to be analysed by Rules and Actions within a Session, without having to embed the filter criteria in the Rule or Action itself.

For example, you might want to apply a Rule only to buildings. The Rule itself applies to all topographic areas. Using a Filter Rule, you can extract the subset of buildings without adding an extra condition to the Rule.
