Filter selection definition in script section for report generation

[yousrarami96]

Hello,

As far as I know in the report generation, filter selections are defined manually in the "Filter" tab. So I was wondering if there is a possibility to define these selections beforehead in the loading script section, the same way it is possible to define the distribution list by script ?

Thank you

Although as you already know, you may associate a filter name with a user or group, you will need to continue to manually create the user/group filter as you have already found. (or use Jonny's article as you have discovered)
