For a process I need to clear all filters and prefilters (including user-defined) to make sure a newly created row can be selected and the flow can continue from there.

I have tried the following process actions:

  • clear prefilter
  • restore prefilter
  • default prefilter

There is basically no description on how these three actions work:
https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_actions#clear-filtersrestore-filtersdefault-prefilters 

Is it possible to turn off (all) user-defined prefilters in a process flow?

Hi @Marius Korff,

Can you create a TCP ticket for this please? As “Default prefilter” should have made your user defined prefilter inactive.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Leroy Witteveen


We've now improved this. You can use the "Clear filters” process action to remove all filters and to clear the search box. Previously the prefilters were not disabled yet and now they do. 

You can check this using the last nightly release: 2024.3.14.1-nightly-189
This will be officially released in the 2024.3.15.0 release delivered on the 17th of February.

EDIT: a clarification on this topic:

  • With the upcoming release the Clear filter Process action will make sure to clear the Prefilters too.
  • For the Default prefilters Process action the Docs state “Default prefilters resets all prefilters to their default state as defined in the model.”, however this currently doesn’t work as described. In case some Pre-filter states are changed by the user and stored as User Preference, the Universal GUI currently has no way of knowing what the default state as defined in the model should be. We first need to change something in the IAM logic and then fix for the Universal GUI too, so this second part will take a little longer.
