Showing and Hiding Filters

When using a data table with many columns, you often have just as many filters. If you are only interested in manipulating some of these, you can hide unwanted filters so that they do not appear in the filters panel. The corresponding columns in the data table are of course still present. The showing and hiding of filters is made per page.

To hide a filter:

In the filters panel, right-click on a filter in the page of interest.
Select Hide Filter.

Response: The filter is hidden and is not seen in the filters panel.

To show hidden filters:

When one or more filters have been hidden on a page, the following link is displayed at the bottom of the filters panel:

Click on the Show all link to display all filters.

To show only a few of many hidden filters, you can do so from the Organize Filters dialog. Follow the steps below to do this:

Right-click anywhere in the filters panel.
Select Organize Filters....

Response: The Organize Filters dialog is displayed.
Find the filters you want to show in the Visible data tables, groups and filters list.
Select the check boxes corresponding to the filters you want to make visible.
Click OK.

Comment: The changes made in the Organize Filters dialog only affect the active page. If you want to show these filters on more pages you need to repeat these steps for all pages where you want to display the filter. A shortcut for showing/hiding filters on multiple pages is to right-click and use the Apply Filter Organization feature. Note that when the active filter organization is applied to other pages, the complete filter organization is copied, including the visibility and sorting of groups and filters.
