Updated over a year ago

Users can refine the data set returned within a report by using the Filter tools within the Edit View. Below are the types of filters:

Report Filters

Applied to a single report table or report tab. They are similar to Query Filters but you cannot prompt on them.

Input Controls

A flexible way to allow end users to filter reports. Unlike Drill Filters, the look, feel, and operation of these filters can be customized. Input Controls can be applied to individual report pages or the whole document.

Drill Filters

A filter based on a single object or variable, where only a single data point can be chosen at a time.

Step 7 – Click OK.
