Adding and Deleting Rows in the Filter Template in Import Filters and Connection Files

When adding and deleting rows, the order of the tags does not have to match the order of the tags in the data file. There is one case in which the order of the tags is important: if you are entering multiple variations of one tagged line, you should enter the repeated lines for that tag in order from the most complex to the simplest. This is because EndNote looks for matches starting from the top of the window working down the list of tags. It stops at the first template that matches the tagged data.

To start a new row immediately below the active row, position the cursor in the Field(s) cell, and press Enter.

To start a new row immediately above the active row, position the cursor in the Tag cell, and press Enter.

To delete a row, select the row and then select Cut from the filter's Edit menu.
