Hi,

I've got a view of users which displays about 10 fields in a table. I'd like moderators (who use this list of users for administration purposes) to be able to filter on any field in this view. Thus, there will be 10 filters in action.

Would it be an idea to be able to have a "default" (most used) filter available at first, and then below that filter have a list holding more available exposed filters along with a button which "adds" that filter to the list of active filters? That way, the UI will remain clean and moderators will be able to add the filters they prefer themselves - without giving them a screen flooded with filtering options.

Any thoughts?

What you describe is a 'faceted search':

Issue queue cleanup... My apologies for taking so long to address this issue!

You can get some of what you're looking for with the secondary options in BEF -- at least the part about hiding some filters so as not to clutter the UI. However, allowing per-user exposed filters is beyond the scope of BEF.
