Customer prefilters add a checkbox to deactivate other (non-locked) prefilters

Hi Erwin!

Do I understand you correctly that you want to deactivate interfering filters in prefilters? Or is it meant to make it more easy to start from scratch (no (pre)filter active)?

Basically I want to deactivate interfering prefilters. 

Wouldn't it be way more intuitive to show the consequences of a prefilter in the filter popup, then, if I change a filter value, caused by the prefilter, this deactivates the prefilter (as I have altered a value).

In my mind, this would also mean that if a custom prefilter changes filter values which are already on in other prefilters, these other prefilters would be switched off (as you are opting in your idea, right?)

This does brings a challenge: what if a prefilter changes multiple columns? Should deactivating a prefilter cancel all filter values? 

And what about filter expressions? Mustafa has a blog released about filtering, where a design is placed about filtering in details, so that could be handled as well I think. But I do think that showing the prefilter actions in the filter popup and letting the prefilters react on actions in the filter popup would offer the user more than a button which 

Please close this. This is more an application issue. I will workaround this. 

​@Erwin Ekkel Let’s not close this Idea! We actually discussed a concept this week where we would allow to save a comprehensive ‘state’ of your Subject, including Pre-filter / Filter / and UP settings like Screen Type, Grid columns, Sort, etc.

This won’t be implemented in the very near future and it won’t be a checkbox, but is definitely worth to keep in mind as part of improved User Preferences!

That sounds exactly what I need! Good to hear.
