Filtering is a quick and easy way to find and work with a subset of the data in your transcript. By applying a filter to a column you can temporarily hide the rows that you are not interested in.
For example, you could apply a filter to the timespan column to view only the transcript entries between 3:00 and 5:00 minutes.
Applying a filter to the timespan column
Click on the filter button in the Timespan column header.
The Filter Transcript Rows dialog box is displayed.
From the drop-down list, select whether you want to show or hide rows based on the selected timespan criteria.
Select the required criteria from the next drop-down list. For example, show all rows that start aftera selected timespan.
Enter the timespan in the field. For example, show all rows that start after 00:03:00
If required, enter more criteria and another timespan. For example, show all rows that start after 00:03:00 and end before00:05:00.
Click OK to apply the filter.
The Filter button is displayed in red to indicate a filter has been applied.
