Dynamic Parameters
Populate dynamic, cascading parameter lists.
Using the power of Dynamic Parameters, you can . . .
-
-
Have dynamic and cascading parameters
-
Populate parameter lists based on SQL lookups
-
Populate parameter lists that are different based on the current user
-
Populate cascading parameters so that the listed parameter values change based on
the value selected for one of the other parameters
-
Hide specific parameters for some users
-
Support multilingual parameter names, prompts and picklist values
Cascading parameters are supported - the listed parameter values change based on
the value selected for one of the other parameters. For example, if Country, State
and City parameters are used, the user will simply:
-
Select the Country, this will automatically refresh the State parameter list with
values for the selected country.
-
Select the State, this will automatically refresh the City parameter list with values
for the selected State.
-
Select the City
-
Run the report
Using a Report as a Picklist Datasource - Simply create a Crystal
Report that calculates picklist values, then ask Dynamic Parameters to use it at
run time to refresh the user's parameter list for specific reports! Consider the
possibilities - this allows you to use Business Views or View Time Security to filter
the picklist automatically for the current user.
CSP Page Enhancements - support for multiple report viewers being
open at same time. As well, the displayed description as Current value and pass
Value to report.
Multi-Value Parameters - serialized multi-value parameters with
no quotes around values are now supported as an option.
Log History - an activity log record can now be written to an external database
for:
Performance - An enhanced algorithm is used to enhance the loading
time of parameter values into ePortfolio's schedule page.
Capacity - Enhanced to support loading long lists of parameter
values - as many as 11,000 parameter values can now be loaded!
Multi-Select Parameter Values - the parameter value listing supports
multi-selects to facilitate selecting multiple parameter values.
Viewing Reports - view reports in a new page while the parameter
page is left open, facilitating re-running the same report with different parameter
values.
