Understanding User Profile Filters

User Profile filters allow you to filter data based on the values available in your organization's User Profile Fields.

In order for a filter to be available in Reporting, the View Only option must be selected for that specific filter in the Configure User Profile Settings page. These settings are disabled for reporting by default.

Note: Changes made in the Configure User Profile page will not take effect until after a database refresh (ETL). It is Skillsoft’s commitment to ensure that customer reporting data is updated within 24 hours. In general, database refreshes run several times a day.

In Reporting, User Profile filters appear on the Filter Options tab in report templates that include user information. Only fields that contain data will display in the list and you can add as many fields to the report as are available. When selected, each field provides options for defining conditions and criteria with which to filter the data.

Localized User Profile Fields that do not include an English version will display the field ID in the filter and report results. If English is available, the English version will always display by default.

User Profile Fields configured to appear in reporting will also be added to the Display Options tab under User Fields.  However, if the field is not a required or default display option, using it to filter data will not automatically set the option to display as a column header in the report results. If you want the field to display as a column header, you must select it in the Display Options tab.
