Default filter in deluge

Default filter in deluge

I have an application with a custom filter for a view.  I want the custom filter to be the default filter when the view is opened (rather than seeing all the records, then having to select my custom filter from the filter dropdown).  I can't find any reference in help regarding how to set a filter by filter name. 

EX: View is called 'Property', filter is 'properties in CA'.  When a user selects the 'property' view, I want the 'properties in CA' filter to be immediately applied.

As a follow on, I'd like to have only certain columns (fields) show when a particular filter is set, so if I choose 'properties in CA', I see columns (fields) 1,3 and 4, in the view, if I choose properties in NY, I see columns (fields) 1,2 and 4.

Trying to figure out the deluge code for this.

Thanks in advance for any help
