Customizing Filters Options

In some cases, it may be preferable to disable or even remove such features as Include Null or the Custom Values buttons.

Note:

Customizing affects one filter. Setting global filter preferences that restrict the options available throughout a distributed data model is an advanced feature not covered in this book.

  To customize filter options:

  1. Select an item on the Filter line and choose Query, then Customize Filter.

    Customize Filter is displayed.

  2. Customize the filter as follow and click OK.

    • Title—Add a title or text to the filter dialog to instruct users on how to set the filter or on what the values mean.

    • Prompt—Supply explanatory comments or instructions.

    • Values—Disable Show Values to reduce database hits or remove the Custom SQL or Custom Values option.

    • Options—Disable elements and lock in operators.

  3. Click OK.
