Filter Configuration

Filters Tab
The Filters tab is where you enable and define filters for moving effects around.

People who are used to SBF 3.0 will notice now that when you filter an effect into a frame, that effect still also appears in frame 1 (buffs) or frame 2 (debuffs) even though it was filtered into another frame. If you prefer to not have effects that are filtered also appear in frames 1/2, you're in luck. Frame 1 is by default set up as a blacklist, and usually your created frames will be whitelists. If you create a filter that causes an effect to appear in a whitelist frame, then the same filter when applied to a blacklist frame will cause that effect to not appear. For convenience, the filters tab now has a Filters in use dropdown. This dropdown will list all the filters in use across all frames, letting you insert quickly insert filters you defined in a whitelist frame into blacklist frames, or vice-versa.

• If you're wondering where that filter you did not type in came from, the Spells tab creates filters autmatically for you
• To add a filter, type it into the edit box and click the Add Filter button.
• To edit a filter, select it in the list and click the Edit button (the Add Filter button will become the Edit Filter button). Change it in the edit box, and click the Edit Filter button.
• The Filter Help button shows a window with the same content found in the Filters page on this site.
• A hint at the bottom will appear to tell you what happens with filtered effects. This is dependent on the whitelist/blacklist setting for the frame
• As noted above, the Filters in use dropdown gives quick access to other filters you've defined
• The Common filters dropdown has, as you'd expect, some fairly commonly used filters for easy selection
