On the Filter tab you can select the fields to filter records of the report result. To add an item or a group of items to the list of selected fields, use the menu or the context menu, or double-click an item. You can select a filter from a list of predefined ones or add a new filter.

Here you can specify the values for filtering the report result.
Presentation. To set a presentation for a filter item or group, use the Set presentation context menu command. If the list view is not Detailed, a presentation is displayed instead of a filter item condition. If a filter item has no presentation, the filter item is always displayed as a filter condition on the Filter tab.
Application. Filter items that belong to groupings, table groupings, and chart groupings also have the Application property.

If Application is set to Hierarchy, the filter condition is checked after the hierarchy is composed. If it is set to Hierarchy only, the filter condition is only checked for hierarchical records. Filtered records still influence the resulting values of the resources of the superior hierarchical records. The nested groups of records that are filtered by these properties are also included in the report.

- Equal to. The result includes the records where the field value is equal to the specified value.

- % (percent) stands for any number of any characters.
- _ (underscore) stands for any single character.
Combining filter conditions. You can combine filter conditions into logical groups using AND, NOT, and OR operators. To combine conditions, select them and click Group conditions:
- If the conditions are combined with AND, the report includes the records that satisfy all the conditions in the group.
- If the conditions are combined with NOT, the report does not include the records that satisfy all the conditions in the group.
- If the conditions are combined with OR, the report includes the records that satisfy at least one of the conditions.
You can define group presentations using the context menu. If a group has a presentation, in the nondetailed view the nested folders are hidden.
