Problem:
How "Reset all visible filters" works in Spotfire Analyst and Web Player.
Solution:
When using Action Control to add buttons in a text area in your analysis and selecting "Reset all visible filter" it may look like it doesn't work as there may be filters in the text area that are not being reset.
It is important to notice that for the option "Reset all visible filters" to work using Action Control, the visible filters have to be not only visible in the text area, but in the Filter Panel as well.
That is, one could easily believe that it ought to work the way you thought it was going to work - but actually the function "Reset all visible filters" resets all visible filters in the Filter Panel, but not necessary the filters in the text area.
