Description

Via the link "List Processes" you can enter the dialog "Process List". It shows all Processes ever run on the system, i.e. the list becomes long over time.

It is possible to filter results using the parameters process type, status, started from, finished from.

The defaults for these field are not optimal. (see screenshots)

The default for "finished from" is the current date. This means, by default you can only see process finished "today". It is not very likely a user wants to see this default.

First, please remove the default of "finished from" and replace it with an empty value (i.e. "not considered").

Second, if own filter criteria are used, after one search they are lost.
1. enter any search criteria you want
2. press search
-> your settings/criteria are lost and the filter shows defaults again
3. use any operation for a process (on the right side)
-> your search criteria are lost and a search is done with default filter

Please keep the defined filter/search criteria for consecutive searches.

Third, don't search for processes when entering the dialog. As the list of processes may become very long, the result is not useful for the user and the search costs time. Search should be started manually after the user had a chance to modify the filter criteria.
