Customize Filter

Use Customize Filter to control access to Filter Controls features. This can be especially useful when you distribute Interactive Reporting document files to end users. For example, if an Interactive Reporting document file is to be distributed to novice users who must set a simple variable filter, it may be preferable to disable or even remove such features as Include Null or the Custom Values buttons.
