Hi Saikirang,
To satisfy your requirement you can try using a custom filter section for Report definition and render the report based on your operator ID selection.
In my case I have tried to add custom filter with Date and render a report.
Please check the attachment if it works for you.

This is shouldn't be too hard and is basically built into the idea behind reports. What you'll need to do is have you report filter on your given criteria. Then to make the filter criteria one step even more dynamic, you can pass parameters to your report.
Use something like Assign-Worklist pyAgeByAssignee as an example. In that report we're filtering based on a specific pxWorkGroup. Currently it grabs the requestor's work group, but you could theoretically make this a passed parameter as well.

There are a few applications I know of which dynamically create report definitions. A catch with doing this is that a report definition is a rule and not a work object, which means that any user who you want to be able to create new report definitions will need to be able to create rules. Having additional users with the ability to create new rules would increase the complexity of your application's authorization model. Also, in my experience, the dynamic creation of new rules tends to be more difficult to maintain than the use of an existing rule to which you pass parameters. I would suggest looking into the options suggested earlier about passing parameters to an existing report definition as it will likely be the better long term option.
