Save or clear Sorting and Filtering settings when adding to a grid


The layout of the page is a grid on one side with a list of items, and on the other side displays a snapshot of something selected in the grid, or if you're adding an item, it displays the form.


I'm running into an issue where a user has a filter set on a grid and then adds an item to the grid that does not match the filter, and therefore he does not see it has been added. (Remember he adds the item through a form on the right of the grid..not inline).


Same with sorting. If the grid is sorted alphabetically descending and he adds "Zebra", he will not see his item unless he navigates to the last page.



First off, is this a problem?


Second, if it is, my ideas are listed below:




  • Upon adding an item, show feedback in the form of a small notification, grid 'refreshes' but may not show item if filter is applied.




  • Clear their filter. This may or may not display the item depending on paging.





  • Display the newly added item as the first or last item in the grid.




Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
