The Dynamic function allows you to change filter values. This function is particularly useful when you work with several filter values in the same report.
If you for example wish to create reports on different departments in a employee satisfaction survey or reports on different divisions in a customer satisfaction survey, the function is very useful.
When a dynamic filter has been created and added to your report elements, then you can change the filter values by using the Views function.
