In trying to follow instructions in chess cafe article "Customizing your Tree Configurations" I have gone to 'Engines' where in the bottom right corner is something called ' Customize .' In clicking it the 'Filter builder' window appears. If this is correct way to enable Advanced Engine Options would like to know what to do next. In my view there is no overt way to proceed here. thanks.
It is not clear what you are trying to do. But hopefully this is helpful. On my UI the advanced engine options are visible without hitting customize. When you go to engines you should see a window with an engine list. Select the engine you are interested in (I think somewhere else you said you are using Rybka 4 - select that). The row will turn blue. Then in the lower right you probably have an advanced engine options window. This is where you tell Aquarium where to save infinite analysis results to, if you want it saved. I save all my infinite analysis results for each engine I use to a different file for each engine. Then I can set up my tree configurations to display that information in a column (by customizing my tree configuration) so anytime I see the position again, previous IA results from any engine I did analysis with in the past will be displayed with the evaluation and the depth in a column for that engine.
Then you have the option of sending data to IDEA in a number of different ways. Those options are described here:

It sounds like what you really want is to display your IA results in your tree configurations, in which case you probably don't need to tinker with the IDEA settings. Those features are useful if you are creating IDEA projects linked to a game (or games) and then you can send evaluations and positions based on IA results to the linked project direct from sandbox mode. So I have "add analysis to idea tree and generate alternative tasks" checked for the same engine (houdini 2) that I use in all my IDEA projects.

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is merely have an H2 book's analysis displayed in tree after an opening position is used, one which isn't included with the simplistic or popularly used positions. I use right now pen and paper files; if I ever succeed in getting the basic database constructed will upgrade to other forms of files.
I just came from 'Engines' where after an engine was highlighted no sign of Advanced Engine Options existed. After clicking 'Customize' the same window as before there without further direction.

Dear Jammy,
My initial overlooking of the area described as 'in the sidebar' has happened countless times in other situations. By almost coincidence I just came from 'Engines' because I noted the chess cafe article on 'Engine Management.' Was able to see that the sidebar is just to right of the six buttons which include 'Engines.' Then able to locate 'Advanced Engine Options.' ---- And by the way am fully absorbed in the view of how to add engines and see that it is a job for someone who I hire for computer work. My observations will assist his getting started. I can't thank you enough for this reply; for a while I had wondered if was on a 'wild goose chase.'
Sincerely,
Pirc8

Advanced chess engines options, are for advanced users. So after you master the basics of Aquarium, you can start playing with those. There is no point in trying to figure out what those do, because you should have a fair understanding of what is going on.
So first spend time covering the basics (for example how to handle the layout, how to close and open windows, then finding that window would have been your no1 action).
I mean , what is the point in trying to understand advanced options, when 90% of the required information would be missing. I really insist covering all the basics
a) the layout
b) the settings and where they are
c) The notation , how to customize it... etc
d) Trees, what are configurations, how to add a column.. etc. This is NO on the list. If you are not fluent with this one, stop and try again until you master it. Until you understand configurations.
e) Infinite analysis and all the bells and whistles (how to exclude single moves, many moves, how to see many engines at the same time on a single pane or multiple ones)
f) then start with IDEA (the basics and build up. No advanced settings until you get the basic idea of what is going on)
then start exploring settings and advanced settings
