Define a Custom Filter at Run Time

This Custom Filter functionality in a Dynamic Template scope selector is particularly useful for bar and line charts, where it is desirable to tailor the amount of data reflected in the chart. This filter is similar to the advanced filtering that is available in tabular reports, although the operators are slightly different.

When you run a report, the system determines which fields can be filtered, based on what has been defined in the report template and the following restrictions:

  • Numeric and String fields can be filtered.

  • Date fields cannot be filtered.

Four filters can be defined by selecting a field name and an operator, then typing the value on which to filter. These filters are ANDed together to determine the results.

The following operations are permitted, by field type.

  • See Custom Filter Operators for Numeric Fields.

  • See Custom Filter Operators for String Fields.
