If you do not want to display prompts for the report parameters each time you preview a report, you can define default values to use in the report preview.
Disabling the prompts is useful when you fine-tune a report layout and wish to quickly switch between the Layout window and the Report window without entering report parameter values each time.
To disable the prompts and define default values for the report preview:
Follow the steps for Previewing HTML Reports or Previewing SPF Reports.
Before you can view the report in the Report window, the Report Parameter Presets dialog box appears. Any report parameters you defined as you created your report query appear in the dialog box.
Select a report parameter and click Set Value.
In the Set Value dialog box, enter the value for the report parameter and click OK.
Continue setting values until you set a value for every report parameter defined.
Click OK in the Report Parameter Presets dialog box to preview the report.
