Collapsable View "Filter Box"
A client user I spoke to said that when she uses the Teamdesk on a laptop, for views with filter areas, the filter area gets in the way and makes it harder to use.

She said it would be more efficient if, like the sidebar, the whole filter area (the "box" above the results where the ask-the-users go) could be hidden with a toggle.

Is something like this hard to consider?

Even the new UI, I feel that the Select Criteria section takes a lot of screen space.
- I don't think it's necessary to repeat there the name of the view. "Select Criteria" can be in a much smaller font.
- I don't think it's necessary to duplicate above & below the "Execute Query" & "Refresh" buttons, maybe only for views with a long list of columns to filter by.
- Columns to filter by could be laid out in 4 columns, instead of one under the other.
- Plus the ability to collapse the Select Criteria section, as suggested above.
- Another suggestion would be to implement the filters right where the column headers are. Right now column headers are used to sort results, but maybe they could also be used to filter results (Excel style). That would save a tremendous amount of screen space.
