Running an interactive JSP report

The IBM OpenPages® application allows administrative-level users with the option to create interactive reports to prompt a user at run-time for parameter values.

Note: Although any parameter type can be defined as an interactive parameter that requires a user to provide information at run time, IBM OpenPages supports only the following four modes of entering values into the value fields when the report is run:
  • Date fields
  • Text entry fields
  • Enumerated drop-downs
  • File browsers

Unsupported types might be marked as interactive. However, the value for these fields must be entered manually, using a text string at run time. A valid value must be entered into the value field for the report to return the correct set of information.

Procedure

  1. From the dashboard, open a panel for reports or a report tab.
  2. Click the report you want to run. If the report contains interact parameters, a prompt page or panel is displayed.
  3. Enter information in the required fields.
    When you are finished, the report is displayed.
