  • Fixed: Fixed parameter values are used. On the Value definition tab, enter the parameter value.

  • User prompt: The user must select a parameter value in the user prompt at runtime.

  • Calculation: The parameter value is calculated at runtime when the report is created. On the Value calculation tab, enter the table column and the condition for calculating the value.

Other settings are shown or hidden depending on the type.

Display name

User friendly name for the parameter. To display language dependent display names, translate the given text with the button.

Description

Value definition for report parameters

Use the value definition to specify the parameter value and define the characteristics of the parameter value. Other input is shown or hidden depending on the parameter definition values.

NOTE: Parameter value and Default value are heavily influenced by the parameter value definition. This is shown, on one hand, by dynamic customizing of the controls available for the parameter value and default value, and on the other hand, by dynamic customizing of the values available themselves.

That is why it is recommended to edit the parameter definition first assuming this is necessary.

Enter the following data for a parameter definition:

Table 9: Value definition

Property

Description
