CM4D sources with more then 2000 records

In Organize Menu, the left tree shows reports from the chosen source. When a CM4D source type has more than 2000 report templates, a custom filter is available. After a source is chosen, a text link appears:

When the link is clicked, a new blade is displayed.  Choose a Site from the list.  The Data Sources dropdown is automatically populated with the available data sources from the selected site.  Further more, users can search by Depository, show From Users templates and apply Report Name filters that are linked with the AND operand e.g. show all reports that include 2015 and a in the name.

Once all filters have been applied, press Update and Close.  The Reports Menu loads the filtered templates.  If the number of records exceed 2000, the results are paginated.
