IV88952: FILTER APPLIED IN START CENTER IS NOT RELEASED AUTOMATICALLY AND KEYWORD ON THE FILTER DISAPPE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If user is in start center with result set, you open the filter
  and filter the portlet for a specific data.
  
  Then you move away from the start center and do other things in
  other applications and then return to the startcenter the
  filter remains.
  
  This is not the behaviour in 7.1 and might become a risk factor
  that you forget you have filtered the portlet, the filter is
  not visible and you loose the visibility of things appearing in
  the list that does not fit you filter. In 7.1 the filter is
  auto released after going to another start center template and
  coming back to the previous template.
  
  Steps to reproduce the problem in 7605
  ========================================
  
  1. Open Start Center Portlet with Result set Portlet
  2. Define Filter WO% to a results sets record
  3. Click on another start center template  i.e Inventory
  4. Now click back on Administration template again.
  
  Problem
  ========
  You will notice keyword on the filter disappeared and the
  filter in Start Center is not released automatically, it'still
  showing the filtered results however in Maximo 7.1, the filter
  was released and was showing the full records
  
  Expected behaviour to be fixed in the code.
  ===========================================
  
  Expected behaviour is to remove applied filter at it is working
  in Mx7.1 OR AT LEAST HAVE FILTER TAB EXPANDED WHERE FILTER IS
  APPLIED - TO SHOW USER WHY THERE IS LESS DATA VISIBLE (ONLY
  FILTERED ONE).

Problem conclusion

• If a filter value exists on the portlet, the filter row will be
  expanded upon return to the start center showing the filter
  value, regardless of whether it was expanded when the user last
  left the start center. The filter value will NOT be removed.
