Left / Right

These menu options are used to change the order—and thus the priority—of preselections in a view table. The following rule applies: The further to the left a preselection is positioned in the table, the higher its priority. For example, if you apply a preselection to customer data that filters all customers with the country code "DE" and place it on the far left, all preselections to the right of it will be applied to the filter results of that first preselection. Additional filters will therefore only include customers with the country code "DE."
