We have several attributes set up to group cost centers by director, vp, etc for easier report running capabilities.  When setting up an attribute, you also have to set up a list (MX10.1) which includes that attribute, in order to call that grouping (by list) in report writer.

My question is...it looks as though multiple attributes are able to be added to each list.  It even lets me add them and it says "Change Complete - Continue".  However, after adding two attributes to a list and then trying to run that list in report writer, I get blank results...it's not pulling any of the cost centers in the list, made up of two attributes.

Here's what my MX10.1 screen looks like:



Is it possible to add multiple attributes to each list and get it to work or can you only have one attribute per list?

Thanks for any help.

It is possible.
The most likely mistake - by setting up the list as you have, the accounting unit must be BOTH Community Relations and Facilities. It's a logical "AND" - both conditions must be met.

If you want a logical OR where you want either condition to be true, you need a logical or.
So, delete the second attribute then re-add it - putting some value in the or group field. The or group then separates out the conditions - so if your accounting unit passes all the conditions in group "space" vs. group 1, you'll be fine.
(Sorry - boolean logic is a little hard to explain in a post)
