Create a PValue, dbSNP, and Variant Type filter chain

You can create a custom filter chain with multiple filters in Ion Reporter™ Software. This example shows how to create a filter chain with PValue, dbSNP, and Variant Type filters.

IMPORTANT! If using a single filter with a NOT operator, do not use a parenthesis. If parenthesis is used, the filter chain can be saved but an error occurs when applying the filter chain in analyses results. For example, use NOT Filtered Coverage instead of NOT (Filtered Coverage).

  1. In the Workflows tab, click Presets.
  2. Click Create Preset > Filter Chain.
  3. In the Create Filter Chain dialog box, enter a name and an optional (optional) description.
  4. In the Choose Filter list, select PValue.
    1. Enter a range, then select Include boundary values.
    2. Click Set.
  5. In the Choose Filter list, select dbSNP.
    1. Set Filter value to In.
    2. Click Set.
  6. In the Choose Filter list, select Variant Type.
    1. Select the checkbox to select all values.
    2. Click Set.
  7. Click Save.

Your filter chain is available to be added to an analysis workflow, or applied to analysis results or a visualization. For more information, see Add a filter chain to an analysis workflow, Apply a filter chain to analysis results, and Use filter chains to change analysis results.
