🎁: Display selected values from filters

[JoneUE]

Expected outcome

We need a way for users to easily see what filter values they have selected. Especially for filters with a long list of values. One option could be to add all selected on the top of the filter. Or create chips on the top of top 5-10 selected.

Unless UX says this is a good idea, then this is rejected as is. It sounds as a single-user request - this has impact across the all workspace apps - I have yet to see any other systems behave this ways. The filter order is fixed according to rules or lexical sorting.

@ken-mellem Then we need to have a talk with UX about this, cause we need a better solution to show the users what items they have selected. And this is not a single user request it is something every single user is complaining about. If UX has another solution then we can change this issue. But we need to keep it open and prioritized.

Imagine these values being sorted according to selection and not logical values

Please provide a problem statement - and why would this add value. The expected outcome you have provided is more an Acceptance Criteria or rather a proposed solution.

It looks like that the problem is that the users feel that it is hard to see which options they have selected for the filter. There are several ways to solve this, for example, so could we use some kind of chips that appear in the top section of each filter category, but this would also imply more scrolling for the users, so we might have to look at that too.

A disadvantage in removing items from the list and moving them to the top, is that users may not get the full overview over which options are available or selected, and need to scroll up and down.
Alternatively, if we would duplicate the selected options to the top section, this would keep the list organisation as well as show the user which options have been selected, but there might also be an issue, since this would increase the amount of scrolling if the user has selected all options except a few.

It could be that making the filter section resizable (drag at the bottom to make the filter bigger), would help in getting more insight in which filter options are chosen/available as well.

As you can see, I would like to do a little bit of testing to see what works best and what the users need the most. I would also like to align the filters in the project portal, so that all the filters have the same start view (nothing selected), and the same interaction patterns. I suggest making an issue that looks at the functionality of the whole filter.

I support this - we should consider defining a 🏆 Goal to have a familiar look and feel across the application in the Fusion's Portfolio of applications.
