Button to remove all Marking and/or Filter Limiting

We have a lot of visualizations where data is limited by multiple markings, expressions and/or filter schemes. We would like a button that quickly clears all marking limitations and/or filter schemes for a visualization so we can easily reconfigure it rather than having to scroll through the list and uncheck some data limiting options and the check the new ones.

    Niklas, you're clarification is exactly correct.  We may have a visualization custom tailored to a workflow but want to use that same visualization (or a copy of it) for a quick look at something and would like to ability to clear all data limiting with the click of a button.

    Thanks, I think I had misunderstood your idea so good that you responded. My new understanding then is that you need this at time of building the DXP file, rather than during the time of using it for analyzing data (if one can do such a distinction, sometimes it goes hand in hand)? Would it be right to say that "When you are adapting a DXP file to a new use case, you want to be able to quickly clear all data limiting (marking, filtering schemes, limit by expression, perhaps show/hide(?) for a specific visualization"?

    Hi Niklas, thanks for the response.  Yes, that would essentially solve the problem.  However, we'd like it in the general UI somewhere, maybe in the data section of a viz properties window because this is visualization by visualization issue.  Not something in a normal dxp workflow.  Does that make sense?

    Hi Corey, thank you for contributing. Sorry for the untimely response on this one, but would not a text area with an action button configured to reset all filters and all markings. or is it that you would liek the same functinoality but in the general UI not from a text area button?
