    • Attribute: An attribute is a field or value that a filter will be comparing to a value for inclusion in the result set of a filter. However, for the case of a filter, an attribute denotes more than the list of user-defined attributes.
    • Operator: States what kind of evaluation to perform against the attribute. For example, Starts With, Ends With, In, Equals, Not Equals, Greater Than, Less Than, Greater Than or Equal To, Between, Is Null, Is Not Null, Matches, and Not Matches.
    • Value: Specifies what values to compare the attribute against. The type of attribute determines what input field is available.

Here is the defined Filter and Aggregation Criteria:


Filter and Aggregation Criteria

Let’s look at each Criteria definition in more detail:


Edit Filter Criteria

The Filter Criteria definition has both Years and Period equal to the CurrentPOV. This exposes POV selections for these two attributes when the table is run for users to select.


Edit Aggregation Criteria

The Aggregation Criteria filters the table if the SUM(Debt Amount) is greater than 1,000,000. SUM(Debt Amount) is in column C of the table definition.

Here is the resulting table preview. Note that the POV for Years and Period filter the table content, and the SUM(Debt Amount) displays only values above 1,000,000.
