Define Custom Filters | Zoho Creator Help

Define Custom Filters

This page is applicable to all report types except the pivot chart and pivot table.

Overview

Custom filters are predefined manually by the admins based on conditions that are best suited for displaying the specific records for the user. When the user selects the custom filter, the records will be matched with the condition defined by the admin. For example, in an order management application, you can display the records of orders that are placed only today and yesterday to the user by setting the custom filter criteria. The user can easily filter the report by applying this custom filter. You can also set multiple filter criteria with logical operators.
