General
Parameters can be used to allow callers of the report to pass information to the report.
Example: A user requesting a report document from the Hub can supply values for parameters which can then be used by the report to filter a Datasource field.
The value of a parameter can be acccessed from every Expression within the Report by using a Report Parameter Placeholder.
Properties
Every report parameter has the following properties:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the parameter. |
| Default Values | A list of Expression that represent the default values of the parameter. Default values of a parameter will be used if the caller of the report does not provide values for the parameter. When a preview is created from a report, default values will be used for all parameters of the report. |
| Hub Input Field | A Hub Input Field Specification that defines how users can enter values for the parameter in the Hub. |
Managing Report Parameters
You can manage parameters of a report in two ways:
- Launch the Management Service, click Reports in the main menu and then click the edit button for the report you want to edit.
- Start the Report Designer for the report you want to edit or design and add parameters by right-clicking the PARAMETERS folder and selecting New Parameter, edit a parameter by selecting it in the content explorer under the PARAMETERS folder or delete a parameter by right-clicking it an selecting Delete Parameter.
