Guide
Report filters can be defined during the configuration of the report (in the Report editor) or when viewing the report, via the filter symbol in the top right of the report.
Such filters are applied in addition to source data filters.
Filters defined during configuration cannot be removed when viewing the report, but can be disabled/enabled by users viewing the report if they have edit access.
When viewing a report, additional (user-specific) filters can be defined or deleted (as well as disabled/enabled) by anyone with view access to the report, irrespective of whether they have configuration permission.
Setting up filters
To add a filter, click the filter symbol so that the filter bar appears, then click + Add filter.
A report filter can be applied to any of the fields in the source (provided they have not been deliberately excluded - learn about removing redundant fields here).
It is also possible to apply a filter to a visualization parameter (which can be fields or Calculations in Reports). If a filter is configured based on a visualization parameter, it will become broken if that parameter is removed, or its type changed.
Note: for date filtering, reports utilize a specific date range grammar.
Showing/hiding data in charts
If your report view is a chart with a color parameter set, you can also choose what is and isn't displayed via the legend, when viewing the report.
Click to hide/show an item (or group of items).
You can also click on a specific data point and choose to exclude it. If you want to re-include data that has been excluded, click the filter icon so that the filter bar appears (or is hidden if already showing).
