How To Use And Or Filters With Reports

Why This Matters

When you are working with Reports in the system, one of the most powerful features you can use is theAND/ORfilter logic. This lets you go beyond just adding individual filters, you can control exactly how multiple filters interact with each other. For example, you can tell the report to show only customers who are in California and whose name does not include “Sam,” or show records that match either California or Texas.

What You'll Need

  • Admin access to SubcontractorHub

  • A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Open your dashboard, and from the left-hand menu, click“Reports & Dashboard”. Then click on the“Reports” tab.

Step 3

Click “Edit”.

Step 4

Click “Filter”.

Step 5

In the report editor, click on theFiltertab at the top center of the page. This section lets you define custom filters to narrow down your report results. You will see options like:Offices– Select the specific office whose data you want to include. Time Range –Choose the time window for the data, likeAll Time, Last 30 Days, etc.Add Filter –This is where you build more detailed conditions. Click “Add Filter” to choose a data field (e.g.,Site State, Proposal Status), an operator (e.g.,equals, contains), and the value you want to filter by (e.g.,California).This is where you will start stacking multiple filters to apply AND/OR logic in later steps.

Step 6

Click on the drop-down to choose anOperator.

Step 7

Enter the value(s) you would like to assign to the filter and click "Apply".

Step 8

As you add in fields, you will see logic built above the fields. To edit this logic, click on the little pencil icon.

Step 9

Once you open the filter logic, you can change the structure to keep all of them asAND filtersor add inOR filters.
