EndNote provides hundreds of import filters for a variety of sources. By default, only the most popular filters are stored as individual files in the Filters folder in your EndNote program folder. To install additional filters, see Installing Additional Filters.
To access the Filter Manager, select EndNote menuEdit menu > Import Filters > Open Filter Manager.
The Filter Manager lists the names of the original filter files available in the Program Files\EndNote\FiltersApplications/EndNote /Filters folder as well as any new or modified filters in your personal Filters folder, and gives you the option to edit them or select them as "favorites" for quick access when you use the Import command. You can click and drag the corner of the dialog to increase the size.
Use these features to locate the import filter you want to use:
If you know the name of the filter that you want to use, you may start typing it and the first filter name that matches what you type will be selected.
Type text into the "Quick Search" text box and press Return to search for a filter by the name of the file. You can enter a partial name or the full name. EndNote will display all matching results.
Click the Find by Category listFind By button and select an information provider’s name (such as Ovid) to find only the import filters for a specific information provider.
Click the Find by Category list Find By button and select All Filters to return all of the import filters to the displayed list.
Click a column heading to sort the import filters by name or by information provider. Clicking the same column heading a second time will change the sort order from ascending to descending. Click again to set it back to ascending order.
Click the More Info button at the bottom of the dialog to display additional information about the selected filter.
When you have found a filter that you will want to use in the future, click the check box to the left of it in the Favorites column next to it to mark it as a favorite. All filters that are marked as favorites appear in the Import Options list in the Import dialog. You can get to the Import dialog by selecting Import from the File menu. This gives you easy access to those files you use most often.
To mark all of the filters for a specific information provider, click the Find by Category list Find By button and, from that list, select the name of the information provider. Now, with just that subset of filters listed in the Filter Manager window, click Mark All. The Unmark All button may be used to unmark all of the filters that are showing in the list.
If you would like to modify a filter, select it in the list and click Edit. These topics can help guide you:
