About Filters
Filters allow you to control which type of information is displayed in a
report. You can set filters to display only relevant information in your
report.
There are two main report templates in the report center:
■
Inventory template – allows you to create reports that include every item and
link stored in the PV4E database.
■
Work Order template – allows you to create reports for Work Orders in PV4E.
Each template includes its own filters.

■
Text – allows you to filter by entering free text. Using the ‘contains’ dropdown allows filtering by any part of the field text: ‘start with’, ‘end with’,
‘contains’, ‘equal to’.

include information taken from the database, such as ‘Catalog name’ or it can
