This Example Lab filters a Report by a user-input DateTime value displayed on a Page through the use of a Flow Run Part


Explanation

This project uses a Page with a Report Viewer component. The Report Viewer displays a Report of food "Order" information. This Report contains several DateTime Field Filters, which allow the ability to filter out the contents of the Report based upon a user dictated value.

These Filters operate via a Flow Run Part component that runs Flow that displays a From containing a Drop Down List, and two Date Time Picker controls. This Drop Down List allows the user to select which Column of the Report they wish to apply the submitted values from the Date Time Pickers. This is achieved by outputting the values to a Set Dashboard Report Parameters step for each respective Column in the Report. After applying a DateTime value, another may be applied to further filter results, by repeating the process.

Clicking the Refresh button at the top of the Report Viewer clears out the user-submitted Filter parameters, and resets the Report to its default values.
