Has anyone else noticed how some financial report filters have recently gotten ‘stickier’? It used to be that if you filtered say a P&L by date (e.g., ‘last fiscal year’) that it would remember that date setting the next time you ran the report. Fair enough, and helpful, too.

However, department and location filters (and item and customer, too?) are now also retained the next time you run the report. This is BAD from my perspective because I have no way of knowing that the filter is still there. It doesn’t show up in the title like the date range does, nor does it show up in the report filter footer like the date range does (unless you click the ‘More’ button). How the heck am I supposed to know my report is restricted unless it shows up?

Is there a bug fix or *wince* an enhancement for this?

Absolutely agree with you on this. At a minimum there should be an option to turn this “feature” off, especially for standard reports. Customized reports should of course retain your custom settings but guess what, they don’t always do that! Always always ALWAYS check your footer filters after running any report.
