    Report Filters for Multiple Tables

    I'm still trying to build a report the way I want. I'm currently filtering a report with a list of RecordIDs for the Activity table. However, in the report I have also have the JobItems table unattached. I'm trying to filter this table from the Generate Report action as well.

    Is this possible? Can I send in filter criteria for multiple tables in a report?

    I really don't think I'm trying to do anything crazy here...simply showing a handful of related line items across multiple "master" records.

    At this point, I'm getting really close to creating a custom report table structure on the fly to report from.

    Thanks

    No.  Through the Generate Report action you can only filter on one table but you do have access to add a Where clause.  What you might be able to do is filter jobitems on the detail report level?

    And if you needed to filter based on criteria from a Method screen then create a custom field in your ActivityJobItems table, populate it before the generate report action, then pull that data out to use as criteria for your filter.
