I often have people ask me "in the past 5 years...[fill in the blank e.g. how many students came from Southern Manitoba]". Currently I have to filter in all the potential terms with their different programs within that range. I would love to be able to filter the terms by a range rather than selecting each term individually or to be able to filter by academic year - which would at least shorten the filters to 1 per year instead of 3-10 per year.

Christopher Sumpter Absolutely. We have multiple online terms that overlap with traditional terms. The filters I have to write in data slicer are hair-raising.

Dee McOwen I support this request. Questions such as these are also asked of our office.
One significant deficiency I have noticed in the data slicer filter options is the ability to set the Academic Year as a condition (or multiple academic years). So often, I would like to have the ability to query on a full academic year or range of years which would encompass all terms within the year. I know I can get there by selecting each term in the year, however, then I need to add about a dozen or so more filters when one could suffice.
Example: I want to include all students within the year (this would give me students who studied in one term but not another). I would like to add the custom field "Program Candidacy" on the column tab of the report.
I used to use that as a query filter in our former SIS all the time and miss that ability.
Thanks,

Jonathon Beeke Would be good to have.

Saundra Ashby Echo same for ability to pull data by range of academic terms or years.
