Hi,
We have provided a read-only grid for users. The users are applying some random filters and viewing summary view of one request. When they come back the filters which they have applied are gone and they have to apply filters again.
I know you guys will suggest that we can save filters and access them. But it doesn't work because they have lot of combinations and saving those many combinations is not a good idea.
To avoid losing of applied filters, we opened the summary view in new tab. But some users are getting confused to go back to grid.
Is there a way in Appian to provide a link/button in the summary page to close the tab? or Is there a way to keep the filters applied when user going back to the grid from summary view?

Are the filters implemented as custom components inside an interface? If so, instead of updating the filter variables immediately and having the grid react on every change, would it make sense to include a "Search" button that explicitly applies the filters?
That way, you could store the selected filters in the database when the user clicks "Search" and also apply them to the grid variables. This would allow the interface to always initialize with the last used filters for each user, making the experience more consistent when navigating back and forth between views.
Would that approach work in your case?
