To select the report, the CONTROL-D/WebAccess offers the possibility to filter the reports on various criteria: user, report name, date, time, etc...
Those filters can be saved to be reused later on.
- Where are the filter data stored?
- Is it possible to reuse them after an UPGRADE of the CONTROL-D/WebAccess?

There are two places where the predefined filters can be stored:

1. At the Web Browser level, the one used to access the CONTROL-D/Web Access Server.
It is stored in cookies.- This is the default option

2. At the CONTROL-D/Web Access Server level, in a file defined through the CONTROL-D/Web Access Desktop. 
This is the recommended option to maximize the availability on all stations and all web browsers.

Process:
In
- CONTROL-D/WebAccess Desktop

NOTES ON OPTIONS:

Option 1:
- Filters are stored on the current work station for the current Web Browser.
- when using another Web Browser the filters stored in the original Web Browser cannot be used.
- when working on another Workstation the filters stored in the original workstation cannot be used.
- Filters cannot be replicated from a User A to a User B.

Option 2:
- Filters are stored in a file named user.filter on the CONTROL-D/Web Access Server.
You may use a shared folder when there is more than one CONTROL-D/Web Server.
- Any Web Browser can be used, the filters will be available for the user that saved the filters.
- Any Workstation can be used,the filters will be available for the user that saved the filters.
- When upgrading to a new CONTROL-D/Web Access server, the filters will be available if you make the file accessible to the new version or copy them in the new installation.
- Filters can be replicated from a User A to a User B. 

Example:
- Use Usera as a model.
- In the path mentioned to store the filters on the CONTROL-D/WebAccess server there is a file named as usera.filter.
- Copy usera.filter to new name userb.filter
- Then userb will have the same filter as usera
