You should not use filter@ in the following circumstances:

•If you want to retrieve sub-object or related object data automatically, and you do not want the user to select which sub-object or related object to retrieve, use loop@. See loop@ Merge Fields for Automatically Selecting Related or Sub-objects.

•If you want to get information from the parent record of a project, use an automatically mapped merge field. See Automatically Mapped System Fields.

•If you want to get information from a record that is not related to the record for which a document is being generated, this is currently not possible with EasyDocs. Instead, you must create a Document Generator template manually using XML tags, as described in About Document Generator.
