How to hide the applied filters at document library?
Jlim_150 I came across this Q&A thread when trying to figure out the same issue at my work. Instead of the current "work-around" (creating a whole page dedicated to a list with list as a web part on that page), my found fix for it is by using a 2-option filter ("yes/no" choice filter in my case) but specifying the if/then as "contains" instead of "equal to" or the other similarly specific options there.
Doing so basically goes over the head of SharePoint's computing so that all you'll see at the top is: "This view uses filters that you can view and edit here." Of course, the link (in the "you can view and edit here" part of that sentence) is only accessible to those with edit rights if seen at all. (View as is a whole other level of idiocy with SharePoint... as in, "View as" no longer being an option.)
Until Microsoft fixes filtering (showing/hiding options specifically) along with bringing back "View as" option to check page view for regular users... I'll not be holding my breath but hoping it's sooner rather than later on their end.
Anyway, hope this helps.
