Custom user profile fields data listed in Builder in respective table categories
In order to create and add a filter by custom profile field respective calculation needs to be created first.
HOW TO CREATE A CALCULATION
- Navigate to the Calculations tab in builder mode and hit "Add New".
- Specify the name of your field, description, and choose the category(table) from drop-down in which you would like to place your field. Typically we put this in Users table as this is user-related data.
- In the next step pick "User Profile Data Data" data point.
- Hit Next then.
- Keep only the top five toggles on in the next step.
- Hit "+" to create a filter in the next step.
- Pick "User Profile Field Shortname" data point.
- Choose "Hidden" in the next step.
- Select "Equals" as the operator.
- Use User Profile Field Short name for "Filter Value".
NOTE: CUPF field name can be found in your Moodle LMS under:
Dashboard > Site administration > UsersAccounts >User profile fields > Editing profile field: Company
- Hit "Apply Filter" then and hit Next after that.
- Hit "Create" on the final step.
- Go back to Layout tab and hit "Add Field".
- From Users category pick a field you just created.
- Pick either Calculation as a copy or Calculation as a link.
NOTE: Calculation as a copy means that you add this as a copy to your report. If any changes are made to the Calculation you created in your report it remains unchanged. Calculation as a link means that if any changes are made to the calculation it will be changed in your report as well. - Once you have your calculation added as a column you can switch to Filters tab and add new filter.
- Pick the same field from Users category.
- Choose either Calculation as a copy or Calculation as a link and then hit "Skip".
- Pick "Select" type in the next step (which refers to visual filter).
- Hit "Apply" in the final step.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have added the filter.
It is now available in the table filter area.
NOTE: You can create a calculation for each Custom User Profile Field available in your LMS by following the steps described above. You can filter by different fields to the same report as well.
