Most reports have built-in options or preferences that the user sets before running the report. The user of a package report can also set filters. The report's creator can set a default filter which prompts the report user to enter specific filter criteria.
When a system user opens a report containing a default filter, PowerSchool SMS opens the Filters panel automatically to the default filter setting. The default filter criteria are displayed [Figure 144]. The user has the option of entering a value for the default criteria, entering no value, or setting different or additional criteria, or removing the filter criteria completely.
For suggested default filters for a given report, consult the description of that report in PowerSchool SMS Report Package reports [>>].
