Hi guys, is it possible to create a report and apply filter for all users? Not sure is that a bug or a feature: currently, it’s not possible to save a filter for all users. Filter settings are available for user who applied the filter but all other users should apply it again. ---

Nope, it works for the user who applied the filter only. ---

The filters applied during configuration should persist. If they’re added after you’ve clicked ‘Finish’ they are temporary/personal. If you’re not getting that behaviour, can you send us a video showing what happens. ---

What do you mean by “Finish” button? I can’t see it. See the screenshot below. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/2/2fa23e77e6b337e09a5265d1cc5b92070654e46c.png) ---

When you first configure a report (or reconfigure it) there is the possibility to choose filters, and these will be visible for all users (dark grey). ![chrome_zAGGbLa5BL](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/1/1fd536cb8029f7e5db41cd6eb9e6d3f15729b4d8.gif) ---

Thanks @Chr1sG ! What if we have an existing report? With your example we have to re-create a report. ---

It’s true that you can have predefined filters, but I am not aware of any way to filter to the ‘current user’. This has to be added to the report on a per user basis. I mention this, as in your screenshot you have “Current User” > [@Filter report by current user](https://community.fibery.io/t/filter-report-by-current-user/2527/4): > > It’s not possible to create ‘context filters’ for Report View (i.e. limit the data to that for the logged in user) but there are some tricks in reports that you could use to make the analytics more usable. For example, you can split charts into sub-charts (one per user) or you could replicate each view within a report and apply filters so that there is a view per user. None of the workarounds will get you the same filtering that is possible in other views (e.g. ‘Assigned to Me’) sorry. ---

> [@uniquelau](#): > > I mention this, as in your screenshot you have “Current User” Thanks for pointing this out @uniquelau 🙂 So @Eugene_Vabishchevich were you trying to add a filter so that the report would be filtered differently for each user viewing it? That’s not how I understood the original question, sorry. ---

The original question was about the filter in general. But I agree, we used “Current User” value and maybe that was the reason of the issue. I will check with the team week. ---

Bonjour @Chr1sG ! So, is it possible to add a filter so that the report would be filtered differently for each user viewing it? Like the filters in lookerstudio: ![07709_chrome_TJGuK](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/2/27b79b337e720810de55a106e3ed325d3d1e8980.gif) ---

If you want ‘per user’ reports, then I suggest using a [smart folder](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Smart-Folders-26) and adding a [context-filtered report view](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Context-Views-20), configured to be shown for all Users. ---

I’m not sure what specific functionality you mean. It is certainly possible to add filters to reports, and these can be set during configuration, or can be added when viewing ---

Ah, OK, I see. Unfortunately not. Report views are not filterable when viewing via a shared URL. As a workaround, if the number of filter options is limited, you could just create a view tab for each option. Not ideal I know, but probably the best you can do (unless you want to consider inviting people as guests).
