Default Values for Inputs

Mark Runyan

Hi, I have a LiveReport that takes a container as input. I'd like to have the current folder (where the LiveReport or Short-cut to the LiveReport resides) filled in as the default input. I don't think this can be done with LiveReports, but just checking to be sure. There was a similar question (apparently unanswered) asked a while ago.Default object for Container Parameter?https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=3113441&objAction=viewSo if not with LiveReports, I suppose this could be done with WebReports?Thanks,- Mark

Message from Lee Butler via eLinkHi Mark,Yes, you're right, WebReports can do this. There is a lot more controlover parameters in WebReports in the last release - some of theparameter features you might be interested in:You can set a default value for a parameter. This will appear on theprompt screen when a user runs the report. It will also be used if thereport is set to execute on a schedule.The report developer decides if a parameter is mandatory - so you canforce the user to enter something before the report will run. The canbe useful to stop users returning unnecessarily large result sets - yousimply force them to enter certain filters by setting those parametersto mandatory.There is an object selector parameter type which allows you to defineexactly which type of objects a user is able to select from. This istotally flexible so you could, for example, have the user only selectfrom folders, or documents, or folders and documents, or a customobject, or any combination of object types in your system. There is a user type parameter that allows you to select either a useror a group or both - the report developer decides what the user canselect from.There is a date parameter type where you decide if the user sees thetime at the prompt or just the date, whether they're prompted with thecurrent date, a fixed date (e.g. always prompt to 1st Jan 200) or ablank date. Although LiveReports doesn't support filtering on the time,if you use a WebReport to run the LiveReport (i.e. it's the data source)you can accurately filter on date and time at the SQL (LiveReport)level.There are other parameter related features which I haven't mentioned; Ijust wanted to make sure you knew WebReports wasn't a one trick pony -even within the parameters sub-set of functionality.Thanks,Lee.-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink LiveReports Discussion[mailto:livereportsdiscussion@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Freitag, 4.

Message from Lee Butler via eLinkI meant to say in my initial post.Learning Services offer WebReports Design I which has a full chapter onparameters and prompting. This might be a good place to start if youneed a more in depth understanding of all the capabilities.http://www.opentext.com/training/offerings/livelink-96.htmlThanks,Lee.-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink LiveReports Discussion[mailto:livereportsdiscussion@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Freitag, 4.
