Bring back "Greater or Less Than" to "Academic Term" field

I really need to use the former "Greater Than" or "Less Than" filter within the "Academic Term" field when filtering data.  I print reports that need the information for groups of years and I now have to include each individual year or exclude each individual year which takes more time.  :-(  It would be great if the former "Greater than or less than" feature were added back into the Admissions Filtering choices.  (If there's currently a better method to widen the filtering, please let me know.)  Thanks so much!

  Ann,

  You could build a filter that included all previous terms and then save it. You will have to update it every year but that should help.

  I agree, the reports we do are quite large taking in several semesters and non standard -semesters and although we can save a report, the time it takes to update is tedious and prone to error. I would add to this a range "between" too.

  Great suggestion Nick..thank you.  The additional problem is that the parameters (& term fields) change each semester and at other times of the year, so I would have to alter the saved filter at least 4 times a year.  Might try that in the interim though.

  Ann,

  Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure that our developers see your comments and Doug's.
