  I'm trying to create what my client calls a "Lag Report" that allows them to get a list of contacts with no activities related to them within a certain date range.
  
  "Who are my contacts who we have not been in touch with in a month?"
  
  I assume we'd want to start with a constituent detail report template, but there are no activity filters to add there.
  
  Thanks!

  In case you don't know of it, there is a Custom Search available under 'searches' for Include/Exclude Groups. So you could use that.
  
  Step 1: create a Smart Group based on Activities within timeframe (A)
  
  Step 2: create a smart group of 'all individuals' (B)
  
  Step 3: use Include/Exclude Search to say B minus A
