What's New in ASP Report Maker 2

Extended Filters with Default

In addition to the popup filters, now you can place extended filters above the report. You can display the extended filter as a text box or a combobox. If combobox, you can use a default value as the default filter of the report. If the field is a date field, you can use textbox with optional popup calendar, or you can choose to display the filter as a combobox of year/quarter/month/day. The Extended Filter panel is also collapsible.
