Unbound parameter with pick-list?

joshhidley

I want to add an unbound parameter to a report and present it to the user as a pick-list of choices (or combo-box or radio buttons... anything instead of a free form text box).

For example, I want to allow the user to select which field to sort on by choosing 'First Name' or 'Last Name' from a list on the parameter screen. Then in my BIRT code, I'll use that parameter value to sort accordingly.

The only piece missing for me is presenting the user a list of choices on the parameter screen instead of a free form text box.

Any ideas?

Hi Josh, when creating a parameter, choose the Display Type drop-down and you can choose from Text Box, Combo Box, List Box, and Radio Button. Selecting Combo or List will allow you to fill those parameters with Static (you type the list) or Dynamic (list filled from a database) values.
