What are UI16 steps to delete FILTERS?

for instance, the context menu for Applications (UI16)find_real_file.png

displays 2 personal filters My Open Incidents & my own Incidents

My users can see their own as well.

In the filter selection, EDIT PERSONAL FILTERS my users cannot see ANY of their filters and I can only see 1 of 2.

find_real_file.png

 

Several want to CLEAN-UP and deleted unwanted filters.  Is there a simple method for them to display personal filters and delete them?

I'm assuming you have the "admin" role, correct?  If you select "Edit personal filters", you'll see a list of filters where "User" is you for the table you were looking at:

find_real_file.png

This is the view all your users will see, with the exception of the Breadcrumb.  They can only delete filters they have created with "Me" selected:

find_real_file.png

The other filters they see in the drop down are ones defined for all users or a particular group:

find_real_file.png

 

As an administrator, you can click on the "Table = xyz" link to display ALL the filters defined on that table:

find_real_file.png

 

Depending on your group membership, and who all created new filters, the list should match. Personalize the list view to show the "Group" column.  Filters where the "User" field is populated are truly "personal" filters, ones where only that User can delete (or an admin).  Filters where the "Group" field is populated will only show up for users in the group - only admins can delete those.

All that to say your users can only delete filters they created themselves, for themselves.  That is probably why they can't see any in the list.

Filters are stored in sys_filter.LIST table.

Users can search their filters in this table and delete them.
