About Report Filters

In SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer), you can create filters to subset your data. Three types of filters are available for report objects:
Basic filters
subset the data for individual report objects in your reports by using a single data item. A basic filter is constrained to use only the data item that was selected when the basic filter was created. Basic filters can be modified by using the context menu for a report object or by using the Edit Filter window. For more information, see Working with Basic Filters for Report Objects.
Advanced filters
subset the data for individual report objects in your reports by using any number of data items and operators (for example, OR and AND) in the same expression. Advanced filters can be created and modified by using the Advanced Filter window. For more information, see Working with Advanced Filters for Report Objects.
Data item filters
subset the data that is returned from a query in a data source. The data item filters that you create are applied to every report object in the report that uses the data source containing the data item. For more information, see Working with Data Item Filters in a Report.
All of your filters are saved when you save your report.
