3 :: When to use local filter and when to use global Filter?
Think this should be in the Reporter Forum but, a local filter would apply to just a single block (table, cross tab or chart) within your report.
A global filter would apply to all blocks in your report, so if you had many tables the filter would apply to all of them.

SUPERVISOR offers various types of users of Business Objects products. The user profile determines by default what products a user can use. User profiles can be customized to reflect the needs of the users.
User (all products but DESIGNER and SUPERVISOR)
Versatile (configurable)
USERs use the Business Objects end-user products to query, report, and analyze data. They may also use the optional REPORTER and EXPLORER modules for multidimensional analysis. End users can produce documents containing data from one or more data sources.
A versatile user is a customized user who may be given access by a supervisor to any combination of Business Objects products.
