Parameters allow the report designer a way to collect input from the user before the report is rendered.

Parameters may be used in the report for several purposes:

•Replace title and descriptive text.

•Provide data to filters.

•Provide data to scripts.

 

The report designer may force the user to submit parameter data or allow the report to render with default data.

If the report has no parameters defined the Parameters menu item will be disabled.

 

1.Open a report - Double-click the report in the Project Explorer or Click the report in the Reports > Reports gallery.

2.The report will load in Preview Mode.

3.If the report has parameters the Parameters menu item will be enabled. If the report designer determined the report must gather parameters first, the report will not render until you click the [Submit] button on the Parameters tool panel.

4.Enter parameter data.

5.Click [Submit]. The report will render with the submitted data.

6.Click File > Print and select a printer.
