in the Report Object Name box.
2. Click Next to continue.
The Filter dialog box appears. Now you will create a filter that will
specify which records will be charted. Since you only want to chart
the values for certain work cells, you will need to filter out the work
cells that you do not want to chart.
There are two types of filters that you can create:
• The static filter, where you provide all of the filter values when
you create the filter.
• The “prompt-at-runtime” filter which allows the user to select
the filter values every time the filter is used.
For this tutorial, you are going to create a prompt-at-runtime filter
that allows the users to select the work cells that they want to report
on when the report is run.
NOTE
Prompt-at-runtime filters cannot be used with report objects that will
be scheduled.
