In Simply Reports, some filter menus do not populate options until a library/branch is chosen (i.e. Shelf Location, Stat Code, Statistical Class). This is helpful for consortia because the menus only become populated with the options available at each selected branch(es), keeping the options to a manageable size.

We would like to see this dynamic menu functionality applied to the Collection, Material Type, and Patron Code filters as well.

Currently, our consortium has 55 Material Types, 57 Patron Codes, and 284 Collections to choose from in these menus, which becomes quite overwhelming for users and involves A LOT of tedious scrolling.

Adding dynamic options for these additional filter menus will save staff time, effort, sanity, and make Simply Reports less intimating for new users.
