Whats the difference between an (All) and and (Empty) filter?
- (All) means return all the records, don't apply a filter
- (Empty) means return only those records that don't have an entry for the field (e.g. all those tasks that have not yet had a person entered into the "Assigned To" field.
Different Filter Styles display the (All) and (Empty) options differently.
Allow (All) filter :-
- Free Text, Checkbox, Date and People Pickers always allow (All) filters - just remove any value from the filter box and this is equivalent to (All)
- Drop Down and Radio Buttons add an (All) choice.

- Free Text, Date and People Pickers add an (Empty) checkbox below the filter.
