# Configuration

I have created a simple smart folder :

In the folder a kanban view

I select “hide empty rows” here:

And I see properly my cards:

I then select “hide empty columns” from the filter

Which works on the current selected entity

# Now the problems

I select another entity: I see empty rows and columns (not OK)

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/5/53c99c2fd238c88b2ea0f861006130f8fadd51a0.png)  
I go back to the filters and uncheck / recheck “hide empty row” “hide empty columns”  
Now I see nothing in the board (which is OK)

I got back to the previous entity and see nothing in the board (not OK)  
Workaround : I can uncheck/recheck again.
