Report Builder Limitations

I am curious if anyone has had success creating reports with Webview Report Builder. My org does not have access to the Insight Designer feature. One thing I am trying to do is build a dashboard that includes some dropdown “slicers” like there are in the Standard Reports (screenshot below). I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone know if you can create these in the Report Builder? Thanks!

  • @Karen Diener Thank you, Karen! With the page filter option set to “yes” in Dashboard Properties. I still am not able to put filters with a dropdown menu in the actual dashboard like you would find in the standard Opportunities report. The filters are going up in the top bar. I would think there has to be a way to recreate the standard reports using Report Builder but maybe I am wrong.

    @Steve Cyra Not only can you set global filters, but you can also set filters on the insights themselves that will override the page filters. But there is no way to have the insights look exactly like the standard reports. Is there a functionality that you are missing that you can't get with the filters?

  • @Dariel Dixon Thanks, Dariel! Mainly, I wanted to make a report with a similar theme to the standard Opportunities report to make it more user-friendly for people looking at multiple reports.

    @Steve Cyra - Appearance will not be the same, but the ‘page filters’ Karen mentioned will do the exact same thing as those in your screenshot.
