We have heard from many of our customers that they need a way to easily switch between data for different users within the Reports dashboard. Often, this has meant creating multiple report pages for each recruiter. With our new Quick Filter tiles in Reports, you can achieve the same result without the hassle of managing numerous report pages.
Why You’ll Love It: Quick-Filter Tiles allow you to quickly toggle Report pages based on users and dates, making it easier than ever to access the data you need.
To utilize Quick Filters in Reports, you will need to select the option to Configure the Report Page. Within this section, you will now see the option for Quick Filters.
When selecting Quick Filters, you will see two options to filter by using these Quick Filters. The first option is to show quick-filter tiles for Users and the other option is to show quick-filter tiles for Date.
Quick Filters by User
You can select specific users to include on the page for the quick-filters and also select the field to filter the charts by for these users. You can also choose to allow the selection of multiple users and to automatically select the current user for the quick-filter tiles.
For the fields available to filter the charts by, you will have the options for Primary Owner, Created By, Owners, and Updated By.
When selecting the option to automatically select the current user, you will also see the option to lock user filters for non-administrators. When this option is enabled the quick-filter bar will be locked to the current user. Each user will only see their own data and will not be able to select a different user. Users will not be able to change the quick-filter configuration. However, Administrators will still be able to select different users.
Note: This does not entirely prevent users from viewing data owned by other users. Users may still be able to construct their own charts and reports that are not filtered by user, or may be able to access that data outside of Reports.
Once your configuration is set, you will see the quick-filter tiles populate on the Report page for each user selected to appear.
Quick Filters For Date
When selecting the option to add the quick-filters by date, you can select date periods and select a specific field to filter the charts by.
You will have several date periods to choose from, including, This Week, This Month, This Year, This Quarter, etc. You can select multiple date periods to appear as quick-filter tiles on the page.
For the fields available to filter by for the dates, you will have the options for When, Completed On, Created On, Due Date, and Updated On.
Once your configuration is set, you will see the quick-filter tiles populate on the Report page for each date period selected to appear.
When selections are made for both quick-filter options for users and for date periods, you will see the quick-filter tiles for users appear on the left of the page and the quick-filter tiles for date periods appear on the right of the page.
You can also use these different quick-filters simultaneously, in which, for example, you could filter by a specific user for This Month, or any other date period available to select.
These quick-filters will help save time when creating reports and allow you to easily toggle between dates and users for a quick view of the data you need.
