Good question Alan. I don't see any obvious or immediate answer but I will see if I can track it down.

Most of it makes intuitive sense, but I am confused by three settings that are displayed when you select a preference setting, but I cannot see how to change them. These three settings are:- Filtered by Ancestor Disabled Directly Disabled by Ancestor All are set to NO. There is another setting, Filtered Directly which you can toggle by adding an entry under targeting. I am guessing that "Filtered by Ancestor" says that if it fails the filter on one preference, don't bother processing future preferences, but I cannot see how you activate it. Any ideas?
