What is the difference between report filters and card filters?
A report filter creates a filter for the entire report, so all cards are filtered in the same way. A card filter only filters the chosen card. If you want to make different filters for different cards, for example if you want to look at different dates, card filter is the best option. Report filters are best for quickly changing the filter for all cards in the report.

How do you create a report filter?
You can create a report filter by pressing the "addfilters" button at the top of your report:
When you press the "add filters" button, you get a list of filtering options:
Filter: you can add a filter that changes all cards, where the most common way to filter is by tags. Tags are the labels that Trustcruit import from your ATS, which for example can be country as in the image above.
Benchmark: you can add a filter that changes the benchmark for all cards. Normally, the benchmark is against the global average, which is the average for all Trustcruit clients. Through the benchmark filter, you can change the benchmark to for example companies within the same sector or of the same size.
Compare: you can add a filter that changes the comparison for all cards. Normally, the comparison is by date but you can change it to for example office, recruiter or job ad title. The comparison you are able to do depends on what information Trustcruit has fetched from your ATS.
To add any of the filter type, you only need to select what kind of filter you want and the report will be automatically updated with the new filter.
How do you remove a report filter?
You can remove a report filter by pressing the "report-filter" button at the top of the dashboard.
Then, you can just press "remove filter" and the filter will be removed.
How do you know if you have a report filter added?
You can always see if a report has a report filter added. It is visible at the top of the report page:
Filters are also shown on each card:
On the card you can also see the comparison you have added through the report filter (in this case job ad title).
