Show Filter Has Been Applied

I've created a workflow that allows clients to filter their data. But I would like to be able to inform the client somehow that a filter has been applied and still in existence until another filter has been applied or cleared.

 

Soon after applying a filter, some client may forget that they have applied a filter, but I was looking for ideas that would enable some message area to stay active until another filter is applied.

 

Any ideas?

  Hi Walter, 

   

  If you include a display form in the workflow and display it in the left panel, you can use that to tell the user a filter has been applied to the data. The display form will not close unless the user clicks on the X button so this might be one way of doing it. 

   

  Then if they want to apply another filter, you can include some buttons at the bottom of the form that allows them to re-run the workflow and apply a different filter. 

   

  I hope this helps.
