Display Filter in Legend Show or hide this filter from the filter legend list. Filter Requirement There are two available options: Allow Omit: allow the user to leave this filter blank. Mandatory: force the user to provide a value for this filter in order to run the report. Display Dependent On Select a filter for this filter to be dependent on. This will mean that the selected filter will have to have a value selected before the dependent filter displays.

Remember User Selection Remember values applied to this filter for future use. Period Traversal Allows you to provide the user with a method of stepping through periods before and after that selected in the filter. For example, the user filters the report on Year = 2009. If the interval is 1 Year and the interval bounds are 5 Back and 5 Forward then the user will initially see data for 2009. Each time they either move back or forward it will be 1 year, and they will be restricted to 5 years in either direction.
