Parameter Settings

The dialog allows you to customize the default parameter values for a report. It is unavailable when both Enable Setting Default Parameter Values For and Enable Hiding Initial Parameter Dialog For the corresponding report type are not selected in the server profile.

To access the dialog, in the JReport Server console, browse to the target report, then do one of the following:

• Select the row the report is in, then on the task bar of the Resources page, click Tools > Parameter Settings.
• Select the report row, right-click in the row and select Parameter Settings from the shortcut menu.
• Put the mouse pointer over the report row and click the Parameter Settings button on the floating toolbar.

Parameters

Lists all the parameters used by the report. Edit the values according to your requirement.

If no parameter is used in the report, "No Parameter Needed" is displayed.

Save as default

Saves current parameter values as the default values for the report. Not available when Enable Setting Default Parameter Values For the corresponding report type is unchecked in the server profile.

This option is a user-report level setting. It is an action and takes effect after the task is submitted. Its initial status is always unchecked.

Re-enable Parameter Screen

When this option is unselected, the next time the report runs via operation in the JReport Server console, it will use the default parameter values directly without popping up the Enter Parameter Values dialog. However, if the default values cannot completely match the report parameters, the dialog will still be displayed. You can check it to show the Enter Parameter Values dialog again after it has been hidden.

This option is a user-report level setting. It is not available when Enable Hiding Initial Parameter Dialog For the corresponding report type is unchecked in the server profile.

OK

Applies the settings and exits the dialog.

Reset

Resets the parameter values. This button varies according to different situations:

• When Save as default is enabled in the dialog, the button contains a text part and a triangle icon. You can choose to reset the values to either of the following by clicking the triangle. If you click the text part of the button directly, the values will be reset to the original default values.
  • Original Default Values
    The default values defined in the parameters' definition.
  • User Defined Default Values
    Your last-time saved default values.
    
• When Save as default is disabled in the dialog, the button contains only the text part. Clicking it will reset the values to the original default values.

Cancel

Closes the dialog and discards any changes.
