[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Creating a report template with true/false values hardcoded

Rebecca, 

This can be done when creating a report template.  When you are setting up your filter, click "Change Value", which will allow you to select your hard-coded value of True/False for boolean types or will allow you to manually set the value for text (and possibly other types - others will undoubtedly know more than me about it ;-) ).

Hope that helps!
