Creating custom group attribute-to-attribute qualifications

In a custom group, an attribute-to-attribute qualification allows you to create reports that compare two attributes through attribute forms. For example, you can create an attribute-to-attribute qualification that returns data only for orders that were shipped within a week of their order date, by comparing the Order date with the Shipped date.

For more information and examples of attribute-to-attribute qualifications, see the Advanced Filters chapter of the Advanced Reporting Help.
