Custom Reports : unable costom "basic" tab of Filter

On-Premise 16.09

After I create custom reports and I was going to edit some of the custom reports that I created but I could not custom the basic tab of Filter.

At the bottom of the image there is a Filter section and the tab button of Basic is unable to click it.

one more thing!

Is it possible to use double brackets at the beginning of the condition in the Filter String?

For example : ((apiproxy ne 'smartdocs') and (stb ne '') and (proxy_pathsuffix ne '')) or (condition)

when I tried out, it seems not working properly.

Hi @choonghyun,

I believe this is a known limitation. The 'Basic' tab is great for getting started, so can be used when you first create a report. Then it is converted into the expression you see in the Advanced tab. If you would like to use the Basic tab as you haven't learn the syntax of the more advanced expressions, you can simply create a new custom report, use the Basic tab, and then copy and paste the expression that is generated.

The brackets have always worked for me, so I will let somebody else comment on the issue there.

Hope this helps!
