Revert to Saved Search Filters

The Revert to Saved Search Filter function enables you to obtain the data provided by a previously defined search filter that is now being overwritten by a newly applied filter.

The filter is moved to a Search filter in order to save it. You have now applied a new result filter to obtain data having Source Description as Users and have moved this to a search filter.
