Advanced Filter Options

When defining a report's default filters, you can set the 'advanced' flag to 1.

$this->defaultfilters = array(
    array(
        'type' => 'course',
        'value' => 'fullname',
        'advanced' => 1
    )
);

This will include the filter but hide it by default, only revealing it when the user presses the "Show advanced" button. This is useful if you want to make lots of filters available but only show the most commonly used ones initially.

Report administrators can set the advanced state of filters via a checkbox on the Filters tab.
