Define Report Input

Report Input defines the report rows with filtering criteria. It selects the data in the NetBrain database and only records meeting the criteria specified in Report Input are included in the report. Each report has one built-in default input and can have multiple additional report inputs.

1. Default Input is included in the report by default and cannot be deleted. It helps provide first-level filtering to narrow down the data scope. The default input is usually related to the Primary Object of the report.
   
    For example, if the Primary Object of the report is Intent Property, then the default input is Intent Name which allows you to select the desired Intent by name, by ADT columns, or by automation tags in ADT.
   
2. Besides default input, you can add multiple additional input by drag-and-drop Report Fields from the Report Field Tree to Report Input.
   Example: To filter the report content by execution time, you can drag and drop Execution Time to Report Input and set the time range to This Month.
   
   
3. The relationship between Report Inputs can be managed by clicking beside the logical expression.
   

   Note: The default input will always have an ‘AND’ relationship with the rest of the additional inputs.
