Description - I confirmed with support that a job roles report does not display the Quick Filter when the report is included in a dashboard because it has not been brought into parity with other report interfaces.
Why is this feature important to you - The Quick Filter is one of the most helpful functions across Workfront. For lengthy data sets, it is essential to have the Quick Filter for searching within those large data sets.
How would you like the feature to work - Make the user interface parallel to other reports that automatically display the Quick Filter and filters, views, and groupings options.
Current Behaviour - The workaround to access the Quick Filter is to open the job roles report standalone (outside of the dashboard).
