The Filter Settings provide control over what filter options are exposed to users and how the drop downs within filters behave.
Names for the following Parameters can be set:
Enables/Disables the Min/Max Filter menu. Set to 'False' to disable users from using Min/Max filters.
(v2017.1+) Enables/Disables the Top/Bottom Filters menu in the ExpressView and Advanced Report designer. Top N filters allow users to see the highest or lowest values for a data set. Set to 'False' to disable users from using Top N filters.
Controls the creation of new filters when a user is prompted for a filter value at the time of report execution. Set to 'False' to disable new filters from being created at execution.
Enables/Disables filter drop downs to contain values from the database. Set to 'False' only if retrieving values for the drop down will take more than a couple of seconds.
Causes filter drop downs to retrieve values dependent on the filters above them in the menu. Set to True to enable.
NOTE: This setting only works for Data Objects from databases and will not change drop downs from Web Services, .NET Assemblies, stored procedures, etc.
NOTE: Drop downs after an ‘OR’ filter will not be dependent on previous filters.
Enables/Disables reports to have a description text for the filters menu. The filter description is set in the Description tab of the New Report Wizard or the Description Menu. A help button will appear in the Filters menu and display the filter description when clicked.
