Show active filter details in list page

When a user makes a search in list page, it remembers the search and if I exit and then reopen that page, it shows the filtered records.

  1. Many users are confusing; is this behaviour customizable? In practice when I enter the list page it shows all the “unfiltered” list.

  2. if I make a generic text search it shows the text in the field, but if make an advanced search the user doesn’t know that the search is active. More in general, it would be useful to have a clear indication that there is an active filter and what filter is, something like this:

You may simply enable Show current filter option under Tools → Advanced Settings, then re-generate ALL the script files again.

Done as suggested, when I enter the page it looses the previous filter, so the first point is ok.

Any suggestion for show the active filter in LIST page? the docs explains that this is not the case:

From the ANM docs: Whether to show current filter, for example, for debug. Default is false. For reports only.

You can use the Page_DataRendering server event to show the filter in the list page

ok, but how can I get the current filter?

List page filter is stored in SearchWhere

Thank you. I only need user-defined filters at runtime, not the filter added via row_selecting. Is this the correct variable?

SearchWhere may be changed if you change it in the Records_Searching server event.
