Title: Active Report with type-in box filter?
Post by: wstromer on 26 May 2015 01:58:26 PM
I have a basic question on active reports.  Is it possible to create an active report that filters a list based on the contents of a type-in box? All the controls that I see for filtering active reports seem to assume that I have a bounded set of field values for filtering and that is not the case for my report.

Hi,

No, sadly that isn't a control IBM offer within a rendered active report output.

I thought of a work around:  Create a field that just has the searched fields first letter (my type-in box searches on a name field).  I would use a control that links to this new field.  I can still filter on the field but just not the complete name.
