Configure report filters and viewer controls
Constrain a report and give readers safe, typed ways to refine it.
SIMPLE METADATA
Before you begin
- A Metadata Report configured with a schema.
- Schema fields marked indexed when they need to be filtered.
Add fixed filters
Use fixed filters to define the entries that belong in the published report. They constrain the report configuration and remain in effect for every reader.
Expose viewer filters
Expose only indexed fields that readers genuinely need. The report uses controls that match the field: selections for enums and booleans, ranges for numbers and dates, and Confluence pickers for people, pages and spaces.
Choose viewer actions
Enable search, sorting, grouping, full screen or CSV download only when they help the audience. Viewer changes stay local to the current report view; they do not rewrite page entries.
Result
Readers can explore the published result without changing entries or schema configuration.
