+#### Default filter
+
+When you filter one or more columns the changes are saved to your "Default" filter for the current data table you are viewing.
+
+Default filter is indicated by it's name which is a "-" dash symbol:
+![data table default filter](img/form-data-table-saved-filter-control-default.png)
+
+A default filter is a "working copy" filter and different from a named saved filter in that changes made to the filter settings are saved immediately to the AyaNova server without the need to open the filter manager and specifically tell AyaNova to save your filter changes.
+
+If you selected a saved filter then make some filter changes AyaNova will automatically switch to the default filter and make those changes there to avoid affecting the named saved filter.
+
+You can save a default filter to a named saved filter or overwrite an existing named saved filter using the [saved filter dialog](#saving-filters).
+
+The Default filter is saved between sessions to the AyaNova server so the view you return to when you login (on any device) will be the last one you were using when you closed AyaNova.

+##### Clearing filters
