Manage User Filters

With the introduction of the Advanced Filtering functionality, Business Users can now create and use their own filters (user filters), enabling them to filter their List Views according to their own needs. Administrators can have access to all user filters, allowing them to change details, such as the Name, the Owner, the filter value XML statement, and any parameters.
