Filter Preferences
By default, Manually Apply Filters and Structure Preferences > Display CAS Index Name are off.
After switching a setting ON or OFF, click the SciFinder logo to return to the Home page. Note: Any other open SciFinder tabs/pages must be refreshed for any setting changes to apply.
Manually Apply Filters
Turning this setting on displays an Apply Filters button, which must be clicked to apply the selected filter(s).
Customize Result Filter Order
This setting enables you to select the filters that display and the order in which they appear for Substance, Reaction, Reference, and Supplier results.
Click Edit for a result type to customize its filters.
By default, all available filters display in the Included Filters column. To remove a filter from displaying for the result type, click-and-drag it to the Unused and Available Filters column.
To change the display order of the Included Filters, click-and-drag the filter name to the desired place in the list.
Any customizations you make will remain until you click the reset filter order link.
Date and Time Preferences
These settings control the date and time format displayed in your search history, task history, alerts, and saved items.

Alert Preferences
On by default, turn this setting off to stop receiving emails when new results are added to all alert-enabled saved items.
Substance Preferences
Click Edit to customize the physical properties displayed on substance result sets, bringing forward those properties (if present) that are more interesting to you
In the Substance Properties Display window, the default selected properties are shown at the top. You may have up to six properties selected; clicking X removes a property.
In the example below, I've cleared two defaults and selected two new properties. I'll click the Save button to refresh the results displaying my selected properties. Note: The selected properties will apply to all subsequent substance results sets until you reset to defaults; all result sets will not have all of the properties selected.
