More problems with front-end filters

Notes
Further to the video below, I have some additional issues with the front-end filter:
  • explore creating new method for applying filters. Currently, the user needs to select "search", but I would suggest either an "apply" button next to "clear fitlers" or have them automatically applied as they are selected or deselected (assuming we can do this without any noticeable lag created by re-loading results).
  • separate "clear search" button (and "apply" button) from the scrollable filter window so that the button(s) is always visible.

Hi Stefanie Gibson, UX Researcher at Industrial Stefanie ,

For this to-do, please chime in if you think anything I've suggested is off-base.

Thanks,

Hello Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

Filtering result automatically e.g. by selecting/deselecting a value will create performance issues. As you suggested, we will put "Apply" button next to "Clear Filters". Hope this is fine.

Yes, I agree we should have an apply filters button. The only other suggestion I would make is that clear filters and apply filters should remain fixed so that when the user scrolls through filter options, these are always visible. 
Morgan Maguire, CEO
Great. Let's go with that solution.

Hey Anil Vaghela Anil

Just a few small things: 

There's a random arrow here:

I'm thinking that we should have the filters always fixed on the left (so that you can't scroll past them) and also move the apply/clear up so that these are always visible. Right now I'm finding the scrolling a little difficult because you have to use page scroll to actually see the apply/clear filters page. 

The other thing is that the results don't change when you clear a filter. If clearing the filters doesn't provide an updated results list, this is a little problematic because the user would have to re-search.

Hello Stefanie Gibson, UX Researcher at Industrial Stefanie ,

We have uploaded your suggestions on p3lg except fix the filter. It would be great if Kevin Andrews, Industrial Kevin  can help us on this?

Anil Vaghela Anil  Sorry I didn't mean to move the buttons to the top. I meant move them up a little so that they were visible because previously they were below and likely undiscoverable by the user. I just meant they should always be visible but still at the bottom of the filters. Let's do that and see if more work is required.

Sorry Stefanie Gibson, UX Researcher at Industrial Stefanie ,

We have reverted the buttons. Please check.

Hi Anil Vaghela Anil and Stefanie Gibson, UX Researcher at Industrial Stefanie ,

The presentation of the filters looks good to me, except for the miscellaneous arrow below the Project Filter still appearing:

hey Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan  if you clear your cache, you won't see this arrow anymore. Otherwise, I think it looks good.
