This worksheet describes how to use contexts and filters to create a report that is tailored for a specific user. By setting a context, you can tailor the text and values in a report. By setting a filter, you can limit the data. In this worksheet, you add a list of comments to the report created in the worksheet\u00a0Smart Reports: creating multiple pdf reports using contexts<\/a>. The comments will be filtered so that they only include comments for a specific restaurant. This is done by applying a filter based on context to the list analysis.<\/p>\n

The list analysis is added to the report\u00a0RP1<\/b>, along with a short description of the list. The description includes text based on the context, allowing you to tailor it for a recipient. You don’t want the description if there aren’t any comments, so the worksheet explains how to add the description conditionally. The\u00a0N\/A<\/b>\u00a0(not applicable) field holds the condition.<\/p>\n

This worksheet assumes that you have worked through the worksheets\u00a0Understanding contexts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Smart Reports: creating multiple pdf reports using contexts<\/a>. It uses the Crocodile survey<\/a> supplied with Snap which is assumed to be in the condition it would be in after completing these two worksheets. If you do not have it, a survey like that is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

As explained in the worksheet\u00a0Understanding contexts<\/a>, you can look at a subset of the data using a filter, or you can tag data of interest using a context.<\/p>\n

If you only want to look at the data relevant to a specific context, you must use a filter based on a context. For example, one could set up a context variable of colour to filter mice.<\/p>\n

If the context has been set to red, then you will have a subset of red mice to analyse.<\/p>\n

\"filter-mice-red\"<\/div>\n

When the context is changed, the subset automatically changes as well.<\/p>\n

\"filter-mice-blue\"<\/div>\n

If no context has been applied, there will be no data to analyse.<\/p>\n

\"filter-mice-cont\"<\/div>\n

The Not Applicable (N\/A) field<\/h3>\n

Every report instruction has an\u00a0N\/A<\/b>\u00a0field. You can put a condition in the field saying when the instruction should not be used.<\/p>\n
