Check Box

Use the check box for a filter entry to select it for editing. After checking the

 

desired filters, use the Add Selected Filters button to add the filters to the

 

Security Profile so you can edit them.

 

If a filter entry has no check box, that filter has already been added to the

 

Security Profile. You can manage these filters from the Security Profiles page

 

Filters table.

Reply). These names are assigned by the Digital Vaccine team.
