creating a filter in designer is different from creatind a filter in business object

if u create a filter in designer it can acessible to all the reports ur r using i'e,it can used for further applications where as creatin a filter vin business object is dynamic(run time) it will applicable to only tht particular report

Yes to add what mayuri has said.

say we have a generalised condition which needs to be applicable to say 10 reports,so we need not write the same conditions 10 times just define it in the designer part and then export the particular universe

when you come to the reporter u can see the same condition here and u can use it to any number of reports.

In addition to this,when we use the filter in Universe ,it filters the data when the  query run against the database. This will increase the performance.

when we use the filter condition in report ,it query the data from the database and filetr the data in the report level.This decrease the performance.
