You can add report parameters to a report. Parameters are
used to set the scope of a report. For example, limiting the data
set by using a range of dates, or by using user UIDs. When a report
is run, the user must enter values for report parameters.
Before you begin
If you are creating a new report, the report must be a saved
before you can add parameters.
Procedure
- If you are not already in the Administration page,
click . Click Administration,
and open the report that you want to add parameters to.
- Select the parameter that you want to add from the drop-down
list, and click Add.
Report Parameters
can be given a step and a sort order. The Step field
is used to require the user to enter parameters in a series of steps,
or pages. The Sort Order field sets the order
of parameters within a step. You can mark the step and sort order
as Required.
Important: A compound
parameter is built from the values of a previous chosen parameter.
To use compound parameters, the first parameter must be added to the
report in a step before the dependent parameter.
- Return to the Report Definition tab,
and click Save.
