Designing reports using BIRT Studio : Filtering data : Creating a filter : Defining a filter at the data set level
 
Defining a filter at the data set level
When you use a template containing a data set, an information object, or a data object data source, the procedure to create a filter at the data set level is similar to the process to create a filter in Advanced Filter. The primary difference is how you access Advanced Filter.
How to create a data set filter using Switch Filter Pane
1 In Available Data, choose Switch Filter Pane, as shown in Figure 5‑16.
Filter Pane appears below the report design. It is empty, as shown in Figure 5‑17, if you have not defined any filters at the data set level.
