Re: Hiding Parameter names being shown in Parameter Page at runtime

hi Karthikeyan.G,

 

by BI server do you mean cr server or business objects enterprise? if so, why not avoid the parameter / prompt page altogether? cr 2008 and above have a parameter panel available on the reports themselves.

 

steps to use this:

 

1) in the report designer, right click on a parameter and choose Edit

2) in Options > Show On Viewer Panel select Editable which will allow this parameter to be shown on the panel

3) repeat 1 & 2 for each parameter you want to expose

4) save the report back to your enterprise environment

 

5) in boe, you now want to create a new hyperlink to give your end users access to...i.e. you can move the report to a sub-folder and then create the hyperlink in a folder that the end users access

6) this new hyperlink will be an opendocument url and this url will include a dummy value for each parameter...i.e. when they click on it, the report will open but will have no data as the dummy values will not return anything.

 

7) after opening the report via the url, the parameter panel will be on the left side of the report viewer and the end user will not have to look at that pop-up parameter dialogue again.

 

if you need to create a sample hyperlink, then you can do this in the crystal reports designer by right clicking on any text object in any report > Format Field > Hyperlink Tab > select A Website on the Internet and then choose Create Enterprise Hyperlink. this will now guide you through creating an opendocument hyperlink which you can copy, remove the paragraph formatting, and then add in to your boe system as the hyperlink.

 

i hope this helps,

jamie
