Filter in Report definition
Hi, all
I hope you are well.
I am required to create report definition which has several filters.
Like the following attachment, operator has some divisions such as OperatorID.Division(1).DivAbbr, OperatorID.Division(2).DivAbbr, OperatorID.Division(3).DivAbbr.....
the number of division is different depending on an operator, some people has 3 division, but others 5 or 8...
I wonder if any way of filtering by list is ... If list is used as filter, i do not need to fix the index like (1), (2), (3)...
May I have any advice? I really look forward to your advice.

One option would be creating a declare index for the "Division" pagelist and joining it with the current report.

Hi, kanap2
Do you know where sample is about a declare index and joining it?
I have no experience about it, so please let me know if you know any material or reference sample...

From the App Explorer, navigate to the property(DivAbbr) which is inside pagelist(Division) and right-click on the property and click on Optimise for Reporting. Once you complete the optimization wizard for this, declare index rule will be created.
For joining this declare index with Report, you can find the OOTB reports, forpyMyCasesReport, pzFollowedCasesByUser for the sample.

Hi, Pooja
In this case, I need to input "OperatorID.Division(1).DivAbbr,OperatorID.Division(2).DivAbbr..." in value..
and the index is variable...
do you know how to create index list in value?

You can try calling the Report definition in an activity (using Call Rule-Obj-Report-Definition.pxRetrieveReportData) and set a parameter such that it contains a comma-separated list of all the DivAbbr(Loop through the pagelist ad concatenate the DivAbbr values) and pass this parameter to activity(Check pass current parameter page).

If Activity is not needed then you can use declare trigger(to check if division divabbr is added/delete , trigger->save) then in the activity Loop through the pagelist and concatenate the DivAbbr values to one property and use the same property in the report

There are actually a couple of ways to do this for an indeterminate length list of filter values. You can put the comma separated values in a string (escaped appropriately) or you can put them in a value list. Either of these will result in a filter clause that is equivalent to the SQL:
WHERE <col> IN (<val1>, <val2>, <val3>, ..., <valN>)
