Trying to pass filter values in visulize.js is very cumbersome here are some of the pain points I've experience whilst evaluating this tool:

- Using reports server ad-hoc report builder, all filters are renamed internally and there is no indication at all about this. I.e. Create a filter on field 'brand' and visualize.js simply just does not filter on params: {'brand': ['Brand Name']}. The name had changed to 'brand_1', no way to tell this from either reports server or visualize js.
- If I pass invalid filters (like 'brand' in case above) there is no error, warning, log, etc
- If I pass a filter value that matches 0 rows then all rows are returned, totally unexpected behaviour

Adding filter value validation errors or messages to the visualize.js returned report would greatly improve usability of filters.
