Quickly find the item you need!
Filters Pane (previously known as Smartfilters) began rolling out at the end of January and I am excited to announce it is now available for use in Modern document libraries and lists. Find your content faster by using this new feature to filter metadata inside your library or list.
For more details on the feature, visit the help article.
Along with availability, the Filters Pane has a new capability of pinning. Any column in your list or library can be added to the Filters Pane via the Pin feature. To pin a column you want to add to the Filters Pane, select Pin to filters pane in Column Settings.
Pinning will become generally avaliable at the end of the week.
We hope this feature can help you find your content easier and faster. We look forward to hearing your feedback!

Hello Yuri,
The Filters Pane has replaced the classic Managed Metadata Naviagation experience. We automatically take the metadata nav config and surface settings in Filters Pane. The filters pane supports all column types, including managed metadata's tree view of taxonomy. We did have a bug with showing the MMS column type.. this has been fixed and in PROD.
The filters pane configuration is per library, not per user. If you pin columns in a view, all users will be able to see the pinned column in that lib.
Yes managed metadata can be pinned.

Hi Nils, sorry you are seeing this behavior.
We did have an issue with managed metadata selection in the filters pane, but the fix is rolled out to everyone.
I want to confirm, you ARE seeing some managed metadata columns working in the filter pane? How did this specific column get added to the filters pane? Did you pin, or was the column part of your metadata nav settings? (It shouldn't matter, but I want to try and repro.)
Best,
MIceile

It's still not working for us too, we have a couple of managed metdata site columns and the filtering doesn't work on the one that allows multiple selections but it does work on the one that is single selection only. Also there seems to be no way of selecting just a parent term and 1 child, it always selects all the childeren terms as well. For example we can't choose to display documents relating to all of USA and 1 state.

Hi Miceile,
yes, I'm still seeing this- the sceenshots are a couple of hours old.

Sure, I'll need to get back to my desktop tomorrow morning (I'm based +9 hrs from Seattle) and get it set up though.

Hi Miceile,
I'm on a machine with sensitive data where I'd rather not grant all the permissions to Fiddler. Right now I can't spend the time to get it working on another machine- I'd be happy to screenshare on my Mac / virtualized Windows though if that's of any help.
Best,
Nils

FYI: I did turn on the metadata navigation now- didn't change anything.

I was able to repro the Enterprise Keyword issue to find the cause of the bug. We have a fix and it will be avaliable to everyone August 28.
Thanks for helping us fix this :)

Hi Miceile, just a quick feedback- its working! Thank you and your team!
P.S. Is there a way to apply AND in a filter, not OR? I.e. filter to a narrower subset of documents that include both keyword 1 and keyword 2
I am having issues with filtering based on a managed metadata column though. If I select a term that has no sub-terms it is working fine, once I get to a sub-term though the filtering breaks and shows me items that do not have the selected metadata.

It has been fully rolled out. @Joe Fedorowicz are you seeing any version of the filters pane?
Sep 05 2017 12:39 PM
When I select a value to filter, it gives me this response:
"We didn't find anything to show here. Remove filters to see your items."
Which is untrue. If I set it using the old method it works just fine.
