Current Filtering Behavior in SYNCHRO Work Screen
At present, when users attempt to filter on the Work Screen in SYNCHRO, they must manually click back into the white input box (e.g., next to "Closed") for the filter to activate. This behavior is unintuitive and inconsistent with most other systems, where pressing "Enter" or clicking outside the field typically applies the filter automatically.
Suggested Improvement
To enhance usability and reduce confusion, consider adding a clearly visible "Filter" button to the right of the dropdown. This would provide users with a more familiar and explicit way to apply filters.
See Pic for Example
other possible solutions:
Clear "Filter" Button
Add a visible and logically placed button next to the input field.
Make it clear to all user types how to apply the filter.
Optionally, include a tooltip: "Press Enter or click Filter to apply."
Optional Activation on Tab/Blur
Consider triggering the filter when the user leaves the input field (on blur), if it does not disrupt the workflow.
