Global Filter Option in V8

[Sally]

Hello
I'm currently using V8 and have noticed that the global filter option (to filter by Primary Documents or Document Groups for example) is not available.
Do you know when you will be implementing this feature?
In the meantime, do you have any recommendations on how to work around this missing piece?
More concretely: I am analyzing interview data when people are explaining change over time in relation to a particular event in their lives. I want to be able to visualize this data using the network function and only see links established for certain objects for particular primary documents and not all of them.
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards
Sally

the following work around might work - if you code the entire document with for example the time aspect. This is normally a "don't do", but not having global filters yet, this might be a way to go. You could then create smart codes

code A WITHIN time X and those will then be the filter you were looking for. The smart code will only contain the quotations of all documents that you have coded with time X. This will generate a lot of extra codes - but until the equivalent of the global filter option is implemented (hopefully within the next couple of months), this might work.

Hi Susanne
Thank you for your quick reply!
I tried that and it worked. A little laborious but at least it yields the end results while we wait for the global filter option.
