RE: What are the different types of Filters available ...

hi all,

We can apply 4 types of filters to data providers when you build data providers using the Java Report Panel:

1.Predefined Filters

2.Custom Filters

3.Prompts Filters

4.Advanced filters

We can combine all 4 types of filters on a single query

Thanks
Cher

RE: What are the different types of Filters available in BUSINESS OBJECTS?

there are 4 types filters in BO:
predefined filters : these filters are created at the time of universe creation and can be directly used at a report level.

custom filters: these are the filters which are created at the report level. there are two ways of creating report level filters. one is before running a query... second one is after running a query.

prompt firters: these are the dynamic filters which askes the user for the values and depending upon these values, filters are applied.

advanced filters: advanced filters consists of ways of restricting data view using clauses like 'ranking'. for example, applying ranking for top 10 rows.. it will return only top 10 rows.
