New page

Order reports may use strings instead of a drop down when wanting to narrow the data selected in a report. To Change this you will need two parts:
 - Query which will include the UID and Name of the data you wish to have in the drop down.
 - Modified query which would accept UIDs vs. String name.

 1. Locate the report by going to Reports  Customize reports and searching for the report you wish to modify.
 2. Once you find the report you wish to modify go to the advance tab. You will now see the query driving the report, as well as the parameters for data selection.
