Filtering reports by date
While looking at a full report view, you can filter reports to zero in on data for specific groups of people.
You can use one or more filters when you want to see a report for a more specific set of users. For example, you can look at how much content has been created by all users in the UK who are also in the Engineering department. The filtering options depend on the configuration of the user profile fields.
The Filter by text option enables you to narrow users by using text snippets found anywhere in the user's profile. You can use this option along with adding a filter, or just on its own.
To add a filter:
-
Open the full view of a report. If you're in the dashboard view, click a report title to open the full view.
-
Click Add Filter.
-
Select the Filter by criteria.
This setting uses community-specific profile fields. For more information, see Adding profile fields to report filters.
-
Select your filter, which contains data that one or more person used in the selected profile field.
-
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add additional filters.
-
Type a text string in the Type to filter by text box to filter by the text snippet in all user profile fields.
-
Click Refresh to see the filter work.
Note: Fields that can be filtered are profile fields marked searchable by your community administrator. For more information, see Adding profile fields to report filters.
