Specify the parameter value and define the parameter value characteristics. Other input is shown or hidden depending on the parameter definition values.
To edit parameter definitions
- 
Open the report in the Report Editor.
 - 
Select the Parameters tab in the properties dialog box.
 - 
In the Defined parameters list, select the report parameter and then the Value definition tab.
 
NOTE: The Parameter value and Default value are affected by the parameter value definition. On the one hand, you can see this through dynamic customization of the controls for selecting a parameter value, or on the other hand, through the default value and the dynamic customization of the selectable values themselves. It is therefore recommended that you edit these values last.
