In SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer), you can create filters to
subset your data. These types of filters are available:
-
Detail Report Filters
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 created and modified by using the
pop-up menu for a report object or by using the
Edit Filter window.
For more information,
see Use a Basic Report Filter.
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 Use an Advanced Report Filter.

Here are some key points
about report filters:
-
If you change a report filter from a detail filter to a post-aggregate filter, then
all of the selections for the filter will be lost. The same is true
if you change a post-aggregate filter to a detail filter. There is a
warning message for both cases.
-
One data item cannot have both a
detail data item filter and a post-aggregate data item filter.
-
Clear the
Auto-update check box above the report canvas until you are ready to apply your filter changes.
All of your filters
are saved when you save your report.
When a report object
imported from SAS Visual Analytics Explorer (the explorer) has a local
filter, that filter is displayed on the Filters tab.
You cannot edit or delete these filters on imported report objects
that use on-demand data.
Note: Report linking is a type
of filter. The report section that is the target of the link is filtered
by the values selected in the linked report object.

see Overview of Linking.
