Specify Parameters

Reports that require parameter value input present the parameter selection prompts in the report viewer. The presentation of the prompts varies according to the report configuration.

Parameters can be presented on the top of the report viewing area, to the left side of the report viewing area, as a pop-up dialog, or as prompts on the page before the report is displayed. Use the report editor to configure the parameter settings specifically for each report.

1. Click Parameters in the upper right area of the report viewer to display or hide parameter prompts.
2. Input the parameter values.
   Depending on the report configuration, the following prompt types are available to you for providing the parameter values:
   • Calendar to select a date.
   • Text box to type a value. Separate multiple values with a comma.
   • Choice list to select a value. Some lists support multiple selections. Lists with many values support search. Click Search at the bottom of the scroll list to open the Search dialog.
   • Check box to make multiple selections.
   • Radio button to make a single selection.
3. Click Apply to re-display the report after selecting parameters. If there's no Apply button, the report is regenerated automatically after you make a new value selection.
   The display of the Apply button is a parameter property setting.
