Parameters Tab
Applies to: Kyvos Reporting
Use the Parameters tab to specify values at run time.
If a report requires user parameters, they appear on this tab.
If no parameters are required, the tab remains blank.
A parameter can accept a single value or multiple values.
Input Parameter Form (IPF)
When you run a report in SMART format, the Input Parameter Form opens to let you enter parameter values.
Parameter Types
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Mandatory parameters | You must provide values to generate the report. A mandatory parameter name is suffixed with an asterisk (*). |
Optional parameters | You may provide values, but the report runs even if left blank. |
Tree view | Displays parameter values in a hierarchical tree view to simplify selection. |
Prompt Before Each Run | If selected, the IPF appears before each report run so you can modify parameter values. For mandatory parameters, the IPF appears even if this option is not selected. |
Save Values for Next Run | If selected, the report runs with parameter values saved from the previous run. If not selected, the report uses default parameter values. |
Show Parameters on Report | If selected, the parameters appear at the top of the report output. |
Parameters and filters | When multiple parameters and filters are applied, they are separated by a pipe ( | ) symbol. |
