4. Clicking on Manage Filter allows you to change this new filter. Save new lets you name this new filter and save it. Clear removes the filter and restores the page to initial settings. 
5. Once a filter is saved, if you change the filter through Manage Filter and can save these changes with the Save button (rather than Save new.) You can also delete a new filter by clicking Delete. You must confirm the deletion, or the filter will not be erased.

7. After creating a filter group, you can then add filters to the group by clicking the Manage tab. You can add the name of the filter and choose the filter group from the dropdown menu. Click Save and this will add the filter to the filter group.
