### **Filter Field**

*(Available only for Fixed Value Filter Type)*

* Select the data field that will be used as the basis for filtering.
* For example, if filtering by a specific product, choose the **Product Name** field.

***

### **Filter Value**

*(Available only for Fixed Value Filter Type)*

* Specify the value to filter by within the selected field.
* For instance, to filter for "Product A," provide "Product A" as the value.
