Call the same report two times bases on parameters

Hi,
I created single pie chart in my report. I want it to show as two different charts based on some parameter. Please let me know how can I do it.

Thanks,

You can add as many pie charts to your single report as you need. Then use the visibility property of each chart to show or hide it based on a parameter value.

Hi Bhanley,
Thanks for your reply. I don't want to create another chart. I think my explanation is not clear. Below example discribes more in detail

1. I created a pie chart in report named piechart.rptdesign. It has some code in onRender method. I don't want to duplicate the code by creating another chart.
2. I want to create new report/use the same report to generate another pie chart with the same format (the output should show two pie charts with the same format, but with different data).

Please let me know how can I do this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks

Create your pie chart once, and add it to a library. You can then use the chart in any other report via the shared library.

Thanks very much Brian. I am able to create library succesfully and imported that into my report.
