Defining report criteria

You can limit report output based on one or more criteria.

To define report criteria:

  1. From the Report Listing window, double-click the report to modify or click the Create button to create a new report.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you are modifying an existing report, click the Filter tab and select the criteria used to limit the report output in the Key field.
    • If you are creating a new report, follow the prompts. When prompted for Filter, select a filter criterion to use in the Key field.
  3. Select the Operator to use to further define the criteria. Choices of operator depend on type of data. For example, numeric-based keys typically take an operator of “equal to,” 'not equal to,” “greater than,” or “less than,” while character-based keys take operators of “matches,” “doesn't match,” and “contains.”
    Attention: Some reports also allow wildcard characters in the selection criteria.
  4. Click the cell in the Value column and select an argument to finish defining the filter criterion.
  5. Repeat the previous steps to define multiple selection criteria. Multiple criteria must all be true for a record to be selected (they result in a logical AND condition).
  6. Do one of the following:
    • If you are modifying an existing report, click Update.
    • If you are creating a new report, follow the prompts to complete the report.
