Reports > {report} > Filter

Filters restrict which records, dates, and/or fields to include or exclude from a report. The date filters and field values reflect the fields that are available for the report category you selected.

Filter by Record Ownership

Ownership filtering allows you to specify the records that will be included in Views or Reports.

Filter by Date

Date filters provide the ability to search records containing date-formatted fields.

A selection of dynamic date ranges is available, based on either a calendar period (This Month, Last Month), or on a number of days (Last 60 days, Last 120 days).

Filter by Field Value

The interactive builder makes it easy to build up a Filter Expression of medium complexity, one line at a time--where each line compares the value of a field to some value. When the Lookup field display type points to Users, a special value of $userid is applicable only for Lookup field display type. $userid dynamically parses to the logged in user ID. The $userid cannot not be used with any other field display type.

Creating a Filter Expression

To create a filter expression:

  1. Select an object field and a comparison operator
  2. Specify a value to compare to
  3. Add or remove comparisons, as needed.

Note: The multi-value lookup field is not supported in filtering of records in Reports.

Specifying Values

Comparison values are most often specified as numbers and strings, as in the example above.

  • Number - a collection of digits: 91410
  • String - a sequence of alphanumeric characters in quotes: 'This is a string'

It is also possible to specify values for other kinds of fields.

Using the Advanced Options

Clicking Advanced Options lets you put parentheses around expression elements, and choose the logical operatores AND and OR to determine how the elements are combined.

Show Quick Filter Layout Configuration

In the Filter tab, click Show Quick Filter Layout Configuration to add a Quick Filter tab to the report definition. In that tab, you specify filtering options that appear at the top of the report, where they can be selected by the user.

The quick filter feature allows users to precisely search and filter data within specific columns of a records list, enabling targeted information retrieval. This feature is currently available only in new user interface.
