Summary

This article provides information regarding selection of specific values from multiple-value fields in Informer reports.

Body

Informer has features to "normalize" data for reporting.  This allows information from multiple-value fields to be shown in distinct rows in a report, along with related details.  Taking advantage of this, one can create reports that list selected values from multiple-value fields.  Considerations in setting up such an Informer report include the following.

1) Criteria in the report will include a check for specific values or strings in the multiple-value field in question.

2) Sorts and groupings may be used to facilitate setup of the content and format of the report.

3) A custom association set can be defined via the Normalize link in Informer.  Typically, the option to "apply selection criteria to normalized values" is helpful in designing the report.
