Hi team,

I have a  interface (page A) which includes user filters and grid interface . I selected 'created' status for filtering the grid. When I click on one of the filtered record, page B is coming.

Now I go to the back page ( page A) using back button it  also working but filtered data is disappeared (status 'created' is disappeared)

Thanks,

Kiran

OK. Lots of details missing, so I need to assume ....

You have a list of records and store your filters in local variables. You use a record link to navigate to the selected record. And then the browser back button to "go back".

The issue here is that the first interface is being reevaluated because Appian does not keep state while navigating. So all your local variables will be "reset".

This is a very common problem. The easiest solution is to open the record in a new tab. Then the user just closes the tab and the first interface keeps state.

Same situation. Appian does not keep state while navigating between interfaces.

Stefan is completly right here. Perhaps you can try to use "user filter" in your record settings or "filter favorites" (end user feature) to archive a situation close to that one you try to archive.
