Setup 3 (optional): Set base filter for report. Note that the user filter will be on top of the base filter, i.e. a logical AND between the two.

An example of the utility of the base filter would be a multi-tenant application, where the base filter for the report is set to the Tenant ID.

This becomes very useful in a Tabbed user interface, as the user has more freedom to define his report results than he would without the feature pack.
