Report Parameters

You can select parameter values that focus the content of reports you generate.

Parameters vary from one report to another. In general, they correspond to the selections users make as they work with the object you're reporting on. As you set parameters, select among the same values.

For example, a Control Details Report enables you to select among values you'd set as create or edit controls in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financial Reporting Compliance. You can filter by name; select controls with specific method, frequency, or stratification values; or select other values that apply to controls. You may also select a report format, either PDF (Adobe Acrobat file) or CSV (a text file for export to another application, such as a spreadsheet).

Select parameter values in the Parameters dialog that opens as you run or schedule reports.

Save Parameter Values

You can save sets of parameter values, so that you can select them easily as you run reports:

  1. In the Parameters dialog that opens when you select the Run Now option in the reporting page, select a set of parameter values. Then click the Save Report Parameters button.

  2. A Create Saved Report Parameters dialog opens. In it, create a name for the set of parameter values, and click the OK button.

To use a set of saved parameter values, select it in the Select Saved Report Parameters field, which appears in the Parameters dialog as you run or schedule a report.

In this field, you can select a Personalize option. This opens a Personalize Saved Report Parameters dialog. Select one of the sets of saved parameters. Then do any of the following:

  • Click the Delete button to delete the set of saved parameters.

  • Select or clear a Show in Saved Report Parameters check box to make the set of parameters available, or hide it, in the Select Saved Report Parameters field.

  • Select or clear a Default Report Parameter check box to apply the set of parameters each time you run the report. (Select this option for only one set of parameters per report. Clear the existing selection before setting this option for a new set of parameters.)

Select the Apply button in the Personalize Saved Report Parameters dialog to implement your selections, and the OK button to close the dialog.
