When you define the type of an input field, CMS will be able to do the following when your users run the report:
Check that user entries are valid system values and are values CMS can use to search the database tables.
Check your users for permission to run a report for the entries.
Allow your users to enter names defined in the Dictionary subsystem.
Add only relevant information
Add inputs that are only used in the report queries. If you add additional inputs that are not used in the queries, then irrelevant information that references those inputs will be displayed on the input window for the report.
