In plain English
These are the filtering conditions the system is using right now. They narrow a set by determining which items are included in the results being shown or processed.
In context
Here, "active filters" reports that filters are currently in effect and are limiting which items are included in the table results.
- Situation
- Using dashboards, tables, filters, sorting, views, and bulk controls
- What it communicates
- reports that filters are currently applied above the table
Meaning limits
The term alone does not identify the specific filter criteria, only that some criteria are currently affecting the result set.
Examples
“With the active filters still on, the report included only twelve orders.”
“Clear the active filters if the table is missing rows you expected to see.”
