Usage Analysis Wizard - Select Filter Criteria

In this step of the wizard, you set criteria to analyze query usage. A query log contains information about the queries that have been sent to your cube. You apply filters to this log to determine the specifics of your report. Available filter criteria include time period, users, query duration, and query frequency.

This step is optional. If you select no filter criteria in this step, the wizard will return a report on all queries. If you want to skip this step, click Next.
