# Filter to Choose Appropriate Disposition Event for Completion Status

The Filter to Choose Appropriate Disposition Event for Completion Status field is an optional parameter that enables you to filter rows from the DS data set to choose the appropriate records to indicate final trial status (COMPLETED or WITHDRAWN/DISCONTINUED, for example). Only those rows that meet all of the conditions specified in the field are included in the analysis.

There should be one record per person, but the report chooses the last if multiple are present per person.

If no text is specified, the last record where DSCAT = "DISPOSITION EVENT" is used.
