Filter (Ad-Hoc Report Definition)

The Filter tab on the Ad-Hoc Report Definition form is used to assign filters to an Ad Hoc Report. The user who runs the report can use the Filter to limit the report data.

Filters will not display when you preview the report using the REST Preview button. If you are using the REST API to access your report, you will need to include the filter values in the URL.
