Keep in mind the following visual indicators on the page when filtering is applied:

  • The color scheme of dark yellow serves as a visual identifier of "filtered" and will be applied to field borders, buttons, controls, tags, etc.
  • The triple bar button on top-right corner of grids (Yelow Triple     Bar Button) changes to dark yellow whenever a hidden column has filter criteria.
  • A filter tag box, which represents the field name that has been filtered, will appear on a tag bar above the grid. Clicking on the x at the top-right corner of filter tag box removes the active filter.
