Is it possible in a Report Model to designate an attribute within an entity as a required filter? For example, I have a CustomerName attribute on an entity, and I want to force users to pick Customer(s) anytime they use the entity in an AdHoc report?

Hi mcape, Generally speaking, a report model is just an additional layer of information that maps database tables and views into concepts that are meaningful to business users. So, I am afraid by design it is not possible to specify a filter to an entity attribute in a report model. However, you can submit your suggestion at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer.
