Helper IVThat's exactly right. Here's an actual example:
The %2F is a /
The %20 is a space character
The %27 is apostrophe (single quote mark) '
So the same URL can be written as:
Going to the URL does indeed filter the report correctly and all the visuals have that filter applied. But when I export out the PDF, the filter is not applied to the export.

Hi CmdrKeene ,
This is true, so you need to manually change the filter selection in the filter pane on the right when you export to PDF. Because you will find that the URL link don't change when you change the filter selection.
Or submit an idea .

It seems like it must be a bug. Since the URL filters are officially supported, and they do apply the correct filter in the filter pane. But for some reason the export doesn't recognize that the filter is set.

To be clear: the problem occurs after filtering a report with URL strings as officially documented here:
