BIRT Have filter instead of Parameters in the Data Editor (Section where I pick "Select column" / fact Info)

The Jazz Data Source has three data set types:
- Jazz Advanced Data Set: lets you input a free form SQL like filter
- Jazz Simple Data Set: this is the one you are looking for which will automatically create the data set parameters for you and will automatically bind them to certain columns in the table.
- Jazz Parameter Data Set: gives you unique records very suitable to be used as data source for report parameters.
