I would like to be able to print the filters run on a report on the report itself, and trigger the visibility of various things like "Partial Proposal" notifications. I'd like to to behave a lot like the LaborByPhase logic in the summary detail, and I see the filter data sources in Report Designer, but I'm not sure how to test to see if the report is being filtered, how the data sources are formatted, or how to create the loops to iterate through a stack of filters. Has anyone done something like this before, or have any documentation pointers? The report designer user guide doesn't seem like it's enough in depth.
