About the Paper Parameter Form view

The Report Editor's Paper Parameter Form view is a work area in which you define the format of the report's Runtime Parameter Form. To do this, you define and modify Parameter Form objects (fields and boilerplate).   You can select pre-defined system parameters for your report using the Parameter Form Builder, or you can create your own user parameters in the Object Navigator or by using bind references in your queries.

When you run a report, Reports Builder uses the Paper Parameter Form view as a template for the Runtime Parameter Form. Fields and boilerplate appear in the Runtime Parameter Form exactly as they appear in the Paper Parameter Form view. If you do not define a Runtime Parameter Form in the Paper Parameter Form view, Reports Builder displays a default Runtime Parameter Form for you at runtime.

Note: At runtime, the Runtime Parameter Form displays only when running the paper report layout. For JSP-based Web reports, the Runtime Parameter Form displays when you run your report within Reports Builder for debugging purposes, but will not display at runtime. For more information, see About Parameter Forms for Web reports.
