Filters & columns
Shape a report for the current task while preserving its reviewed base definition.
Smart filters
Each report definition chooses its available smart filters. Common filters include users, courses, modules, enrolment methods, completion states, roles, and report-specific status fields. Large result sets are searched, sorted, and paginated on the server.
- Use the most selective filters first.
- Clear stale URL parameters before comparing results.
- Save a default search field only when it fits most users of that report.
- Confirm filters are still applied before downloading.
Date controls
Reports can define synthetic date columns for Learning time and Visits. The toolbar may offer ranges such as today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, a custom range, or all time, depending on the definition.

Customize safely
- Duplicate the report
Keep the installed catalogue definition available as a known baseline.
- Change one concern at a time
Adjust columns, filters, or metadata in small steps so regressions are visible.
- Test edge cases
Check empty results, hidden courses, suspended users, large datasets, and download output.
- Reconfirm the audience
A copied report is a new object and should receive deliberately reviewed access rules.
