Question:

Why are Filter Criteria Values not displaying in the Filters Section of Vault Reports?

For example, on the Test Report shown below, the User is prompted to select a user for the "Source Owner" filter:

However, after selecting a user and running the report, the expanded Filter Section is not displaying the user that was selected (User "Andrew Snyder-Spak" in this instance):

Answer:

It is likely that Filter Aliases are being used, but the Filter Criteria Value token: {#####} is not included in the Filter Alias.  This Filter Criteria Value token is what pulls the Filter Criteria Value in and displays it.  Without this token, the Filter Alias is simply a static label.

To confirm that this is the case and resolve the issue:

1. Edit the report, expand the Advanced Options section at the bottom, and confirm that the "Enable filter and column aliases" option is enabled:

2. Next, scroll up to the filter in question and select Edit next to the Filter Alias:

3.  Examine the Filter Alias and ensure that Filter Criteria Value token {#####} is being used in the Alias:

Incorrect(Filter Criteria Value will not be displayed):

Correct(Filter Criteria Value will be displayed):
