Filter Panel and Filter Editor
The filter panel is automatically displayed when a filter condition is applied to data and allows an end-user to manage the applied filter. It contains the following buttons:
- Close Filter button - closes the filter panel and removes the filter;
- Enable Filter button - temporarily enables and disables the current filter;
- MRU Filter button - invokes the list of most recently used filters. This list can also be opened by clicking the filter text within the panel;
- Edit Filter button - opens the filter editor allowing end-users to build complex filter criteria;
