Is there a way to show the search criteria on the report screen? This would be an important thing to do.

Actually, that was the whole point of the Description field. So that the report developer can describe in their own words what the report is all about. The end users will see this description below the report's title.

The other reason too is that we try to abstract the report's properties from the end user who only needs to see the report.

Do you absolutely need this funtionality?

To be quite honest, yes it would be helpful. You see, someone using the report cannot tell what the serach criteria was unless they go to Build Report. It would be more user friendly to just state the filter/search condition. This is especially iportant should there be a filter condition such as between dates. A user not knowing what the dates are may not know the report is wrong for their need.

This functionality has been added as of version 2.5.35 which is now available for download.

To display your filters (search condition), Select the checkbox Display filter(s)? in the Add filters to your report section of the dialog wizard.
