Optimization of Filter Indentation in Business Central Reports and Views

Problem Description:

Currently, the filter interface in Business Central lacks a clear hierarchical visual structure when handling complex filters. This can lead to confusion for users managing filters with multiple conditions (e.g., AND/OR combinations) and makes it difficult to quickly understand the applied logic.

Proposed Solution:

Implement an indentation and hierarchical visualization system within the filter interface in Business Central to clarify the relationship between filters and logical conditions.

Required Functional Specifications:

1. Dynamic visual indentation: Each filter condition (AND/OR) should display with an indentation that clearly indicates the logical hierarchy.
2. Visual indicators: Introduce connecting lines or symbols to represent the logic between filter groups.
3. Tree structure: Allow users to expand or collapse filter groups for better readability and management.
4. Explanatory tooltips: Add quick descriptions (tooltips) showing the complete filter logic on hover.
5. Backward compatibility: Ensure that the update does not negatively impact filters configured in previous versions.

Expected Benefits:

• Increased clarity and understanding in configuring complex filters.
• Reduction in errors caused by misinterpretation of applied logic.
• Improved user experience and productivity.

Suggested Implementation:

The enhancement could be integrated as an optional feature enabled by administrators, ensuring flexibility during the transition.
