Description of the feature

In the Reports Filter Dialog, currently the ability to select one or single value is present for dropdowns. Need ability to multi-select with selectall and selectnone options.

Add screenshots, design images or other files which would help for understanding the feature or for implementation. Screenshot from 2024-04-21 07-06-43 Screenshot from 2024-04-21 07-06-02

Also add links when needed, for instance for implementation standards or other relevant resources.

Adding tabs at the top of the Transaction Filter (to v1.7.0)/Transaction Report Filter (from v1.7.1) dialog to separate the different sections can enable better use of screen real estate while enabling more advanced features.

The dialog title Customise Transaction Report in the screenshots below are Transaction Report Filter (from v1.7.1 in MMEX).

Screenshots below are from software created over two decades ago (> 20 years old). If there are patents, they seem to have expired as:

A patent is a set of exclusionary rights granted by a state to a patent holder for a limited period of time, usually 20 years.

In Europe, "computer programs as such" are excluded from patentability, thus European Patent Office policy is consequently that a program for a computer is not patentable if it does not have the potential to cause a "technical effect" which is by now understood as a material effect (a "transformation of nature").

Include tab

  1. Tabs at the top to enable more features using limited screen real estate

Mark All and Clear All buttons to quickly select/deselect all categories

Classes/Tags

  1. Radio options for Categories and Classes (called Tags in MMEX) selection

Thanks @ovari, that perfectly captures the idea! This change if aligns well with the MMEX roadmap, which I believe will attract more users.
