Report

This Favorite refers an entire Report.

Each report is displayed as an icon. The icon used depends on the format of the report.

Report Search Filter

You can save a report filter.

If you save a filter as a favorite, that filter can be used the next time you want to see all the reports that are selected by that filter.

For example, the favorite filter is looking for A* and specifies the last 25 days on Repository nnn.

Whenever this favorite is used, all the reports that start with the letter A that were added to Repository nnn in the last 25 days will be selected.

The reports matching this filter at runtime are listed in a subfolder of the subscription. Each time a user logs in and expands the folder the search filter checks to find reports matching the filter.

You can expand and collapse the folder as needed.

Cross-Report Search Filter

This type of favorite cannot be added to a subscription and is not listed on the favorites list of the subscription pane.

Cross-Report Index-Value Filter

This type of filter returns all report sections that match this index and value pair. The filter can be saved as a favorite.

This might produce five different report page ranges, or report sections, where the index matches the given value. These report sections can actually be from different reports, if an index and value is in more than one report.

Those report sections will be listed in a sub folder of the subscription on the Reports tab.

The matching report sections are listed in a subfolder of the subscription on the Reports tab.

Each report section listed in the subfolder will appear as a text report with the text report icon.
