About this Filter

The Filter window opens to display the About this Filter panel. This panel contains descriptive information about the filter. None of the information used in this panel has any impact on establishing the connection.

Name: Displays the name of the filter as it appears in the Filters folder in the EndNote folder. The file name extension (.ENF) is not displayed. The name of the filter cannot be changed here; you would need to close this window and switch back to the Windows desktop Macintosh Finder to rename the filter.

Based On: Enter any information about what documentation was used to create the filter. Commonly the server documentation is available on the Web, so you could enter a URL here as well to make it easy to later retrieve that information.

Category: The category is typically the information provider (such as Ovid), but you may enter anything that will help you categorize and organize your filters. The category information is also listed in the Filter Manager window in the column next to the name of the filter. In that window, you may sort filters by category and also search for them by category.

Created: The date the filter was installed or created.

Last Modified: The date the filter was last modified.

Comments and Limitations: Enter any helpful information such as how to download the references in the format that works with this filter.

All of the information in this panel is visible in the Filter Manager if you click the More Info option at the bottom of the Filter Manager window. This is helpful because you do not need to edit a filter to view the comments or other descriptive information. You may scroll through the available filters in the Filter Manager window and view the information there.
