Control dataset parameter from table/chart?

Hello together,

i have a table which logs views of assets which are assigned to libraries.
What i want to create is a report which contains a top ten table for each library. Therefore i created a query quite similar to this:

Select
*
FROM log_assets
WHERE library = ?
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 10

Additionally i created a dataset parameter for the library.

Now i like to add some tables to my report and change the dataset parameter per table.

Any way to accomplish this?

I'm quite a newbie working with birt so maybe there is a totally different approach. Looking forward for any hint.

Thanks in advance
Jens

Hi Jens,

For a table, you can go to the binding tab in the property editor and edit the dataSet parameter binding.

Jens, 
 
If you go up to Window/Views/Report and Chart Examples, and look under the Sub-Report section, there is an example of how to do this. 
 
Additionally, you can look at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/examples/reports/subreports/'>BIRT Example Reports - Sub Report</a> for an example.

The Button "Dataset Parameter Binding" was surely added after i wrote my question ;-)
