Current behavior:
When a table filter is applied (either at the table level (quick search) or the column level), it's not very clear that a filter has been applied and it's confusing to the user why so few rows are being displayed. Also, not very intuitive how to clear the filter(s) as it's hidden under the More button.
New behavior:
Maybe a visual indicator if/when a table filter is applied? Maybe a filter button next to Delivery Services (for example) that is highlighted when filter is applied and a dropdown to remove any/all filters. Design is tbd.
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
Filter by the Quick Search global table filter and/or the column filters. Notice that it's easy to overlook them.
There is a little filter indicator, but I agree it should probably be more prominent at least and easier to clear without having to go into More.
a button was added to clear ALL filters (column filters and global table filter)
which is great but it doesn't give you any indication that one or more filters are currently being applied. i can't tell you how many times people get confused with the data in a table and forget they have filters applied.

Sounds like an excellent argument for not automatically re-applying previously used filters on pageload. Especially if filtering eventually updates the URL (which is planned), so you could just bookmark e.g. /core/servers?filter-profile=test
@ocket8888 i think it would be awesome to see the filters in the URL. that would (imo) be enough to satisfy the "need to be able to see if a filter is applied" requirement
