This functionality enables you to filter reports on Single questions, and then assign the filtered reports to specific end users. You can set up a master report and define a variable that is to be used as a personalized filter. Each end user is then assigned a value for this filter, and when they log on, they will receive a report showing the results relevant for them.
Important
A question specified as a "personalized filter question" must be of question type SINGLE. It must either be a regular single question, or a single question mapped to a self-referencing hierarchy.
Furthermore, it must also be an indexed question (the "Indexed" property must be selected for this question in Professional Designer).
See the Forsta Authoring documentation for further information on question properties.
You can use single questions with normal answer lists, table lookup or an unbalanced (parent-child) hierarchy, (refer to the Database Designer in the Forsta Professional Authoring documentation).

Personalized reporting on Single questions is not available in public reports because the end user viewing the report must be identified via log-in. Personalized reports on single questions can either be made available online for viewers and designers, or exported to PDF, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint.
