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.
