Hi Vanessa  We're using a form of query language called Entity Framework SQL (ESQL)  provided by Microsoft's Entity Framework (EF). So if you search on Microsoft's websites there should be a trove of information. For example:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738626.aspx   Here's some examples:    Aggregate Canonical Functions    Discusses aggregate Entity SQL canonical functions.       Math Canonical Functions    Discusses math Entity SQL canonical functions.        String Canonical Functions    Discusses string Entity SQL canonical functions.        Date and Time Canonical Functions    Discusses date and time Entity SQL canonical functions.        Bitwise Canonical Functions    Discusses bitwise Entity SQL canonical functions.        Other Canonical Functions    Discusses functions not classified as bitwise, date/time, string, math, or aggregate.

Is it possible to access or define Standard Fields Filters for use in Custom queries?  I am looking to report across Project Groups, based on a custom Implementation Date field on the Release artifact.  I can copy the Release Summary Report and customize it, but can't get access across Project Groups.  I can create a new Custom Report, but then don't have input fields for the user to select from.  Is this possible, or planned as an enhancement?  </description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:36:35 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2013-04-02T13:36:35-04:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/540.aspx#reply1011</link></item></channel></rss>
