About filters

Filters are pieces of XML code that form part of an XML menu definition or an XML tool definition. There are two types of filter: context filters and security filters.

Filter characteristics are inherited by submenu and tools. For example if the My Tools... menu has context or security restrictions, then these restrictions are applied to all menus and tools within the My Tools... menu.

If no filter is present then the menu or tool will always appear in the context menu.
