Report with Input Controls

Input controls enable you to set the values of a report's queries when they run the report. When viewing the report, a window displays the controls with their default values. You can run the report with the defaults or enter new values.

Some input controls do not have default values, in which case they may be blank in the Input Control page. You can enter appropriate values for them before running the report.

Running a Report with Input Controls

  1. Select a report with input controls from the Reports page or the Repository.
    • If there are no default values, the user will be prompted to enter the values to run the report against.
    • If there are default values, the report will run against those values.
  2. The report with the selected values will be displayed.

Running the Report with Other Values

  1. Click the  icon to access the Input Control page.
  2. Enter the desired values and click OK .
  3. The new report will now be displayed.

Saving New Default Values

  1. Click on the  icon to access the Input Control Page.
  2. Select the new default value(s).
  3. Click Save.
  4. Enter a Name for the new default value set in the pop up window.
  5. Click Save.

The Input Control page will now have a drop-down menu with this Saved Value as an option. The saved input is viewable in the drop by anyone who can run the report. 
The report with the new default values is also saved to the repository under the original report.
