  Hi,

  I was wondering if the ActiveReportJs has support for an advance filter input? That is something like the ability to filter the data of the report through a input query like in the toolbar (not in the report area) or something similar (Other applications that implement this feature might use AI behind the scenes to process the filter input).
  
  I know that the question might sound confusing but I’m just clearing all my doubts about the current (or planned) capabilities of the ActiveReportJs product (for React).

  Hope you guys can help me with this question.
  
  Regards.

  Hi Cesar,

  ActiveReportsJS supports filtering data through parameters, which can be useful for dynamic report customization, but it doesn’t have a built-in feature for advanced input filtering directly in the toolbar, like what you may be describing with AI-driven or natural language queries outside the report area. However, there are ways you can implement similar functionality through custom UI elements, like inputs or dropdowns, in your React app, which pass filter parameters to the report.

  You can leverage report parameters to dynamically filter report data. These parameters can be linked to datasets or controls within the report. For example, you can add an input in your custom React component to capture user queries and apply those as filter parameters in ActiveReportsJS. By setting up filters in the report itself (like in tables or datasets), you can dynamically show data based on the user’s input​

  You can check out more about how filters and parameters work in ActiveReportsJS here:

  We hope this helps!
