Parameters

Some reports use the Crystal Reports parameters feature. Parameters prompt the report user to enter information. This information determines what data appears in the report. For example, in a report used by sales, there might be a parameter that asks the user to choose a region. The report returns the results for the specific region instead of returning the results for all of the regions.

You can set parameters on the Schedule page. If the report you schedule does not contain parameters, you will not be able to choose this option in the "Customize your options" list.

To schedule a report with parameters

1. In the Customize your options list, click Parameters.
2. Select the parameter you need for your report and click Add.

   Note:    The appearance of the parameter prompts on the Schedule page may differ from report to report depending on how the parameter field was created in Crystal Reports.

3. On the title bar, click Schedule.

   Note:    If you want to set other options, do not click Schedule until you have made all your selections.
