Create Multiple Report Versions Using Parameters

InetSoft's reporting software allows users to set up report parameters in order to create multiple report versions from a single template. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

In the Filtering section, you created a report with a parameterized condition. When you launch this report, it automatically generates a prompting screen to obtain the value of the parameter from the user.

To design your own parameter sheet, open a parameterized report, and click the ‘Parameter’ button on the Ad Hoc toolbar. This opens the ‘Parameter’ dialog box, which enables you to lay out a parameter sheet and to specify the selection lists and display properties for each of the required parameters.

The ‘Parameter’ dialog box allows you to insert the following elements into the parameter sheet.
