Many times, multiple filters must be created for a specific reporting purpose. Nesting the filters will allow multiple filters to be combined into one filter to save space on the screen and make reporting easier.

 

First, all individual filters must be created. See Creating a Filter for more information. Next, create the Nesting Filter. To do this, select the filter icon next to the specific filter type that contains the desired filters. Then, select Add followed by New. Select (Filter Title) to enter a name for the filter being created. In this instance, give the title a name that denotes the specific type of report for which these ranges are to be utilized, such as "Cancer Registry" or "AMI".

 

Once a title has been set, select Include at the top of the screen.
