Add a Report Audience Filter
Static filters apply every time the active report is viewed by any user. They do not require user input. Report Audience filters are a unique type of Static filter used to tailor reports by user. For example, you can create a Requisition report that by default shows only Requisitions relevant to the logged in user. You can also use Static filters for other purposes, such as to restrict access to report data. For example, for a Requisition report you may want to restrict display of Requisitions to only those that have been approved.
These steps begin on the Report Working Area when a Report Creator is creating or editing a report.
To add a Static Report Audience filter as a Report Creator:
- On the Report Working Area, click Tools >> Filters.
- Click Define Report Audience.
- Click Select audience role(s) and select one or more user type from the list. When the report viewer runs the report, the Reporting Tool compares these selections against the active user and shows only the data where the active user matches. For example, if your report lists candidates and hiring managers, you can select Hiring Manager here. Then when hiring manager X logs in and runs this report, only those candidates associated with them as a hiring manager are shown.
- Specify additional filter options, such as Title, Description, or Grouping, as needed. See The Filters Widget topic for details.
