Filter Overrides

You can either override an existing filter definition from the report or define a new filter defintion. Any definition given in the FilterOverrides with the same FieldRef as a filter from the underlying report will replace that filter at runtime.

For example, all of the following changes could be safely made without altering the underlying SQL:

  • Choose a different AutoCompleteQuery/ModelPicker for a filter.

  • Make a filter required which was previously optional.

  • Hide an optional filter which doesn’t make sense to the current user.

  • Change the list of enumerated values shown for a drop-down selection.

    Removal of Filter fields is not supported. Also, DataMeasure override is not supported.
