Scope Selector Component - Custom Filter

The Custom Filter scope selector component provides advanced report filtering capabilities. Use this filter to define free-form fields that enable data filtering at run time.

When defining a Custom Filter for a Dynamic Template, the following rules apply:

  • The Dynamic Template is restricted to one product only. For example, the Dynamic Template must be defined for a single product, such as Veritas NetBackup; only data for that product is relevant.

  • Fields that contain aggregation functions will not be listed for Custom Filter selection at run time.

To configure a Dynamic Template to include the Custom Filter scope selector:

  1. Once you have defined the fields to be included in the template, click Define Scope Selector to view the Scope Selector Components. At run time, the user can supply values to achieve more granular filtering.

  2. Check the Custom Filter component and click OK.

    When the report is run, the Scope Selector displays the fields that can be selected to specify values to filter the report results.
