4. Where is this? • The Find / Update link is located on the top of the “Definition” tab when editing a report.

5. Find / Update Filters

6. Search Filters • This example will update the audit file field. • Click Add Filter, and click on Audit File

7. Is Set or Is Not Set, that is the question? • This example uses a search for filters where the Audit File field is not used or is empty. • In Search Filters, add a filter to look for the unused field. • “Audit File” “Is Not Set” • In Update Action, add an action to add the audit filter to the filters. • “Audit File” “Is Set” “File Name”

8. Search Filters • The Search Filter is going to look for the filter condition currently in use that needs to be updated. • In this example, an update to the Audit File field is reviewed. • If the audit file field is not currently in use, then select the “Is Not Set”. • Please notethat the “Save” button must be selected. • In this example, the audit file field is not set.
