Top N in Interactive Reports

Hi,

I am using the trial version of the Birt Interactive viewer.
Based on our client feedback - I have a question.
Right now our reports just show 'Top 10' in most categories - but some clients would like to see more data.
Is it possible to pull data for 'Top 50' but display 'Top 10' in the report - as not all client want such huge data and reports. Clients interested in more data can opt to see 'Top 50' through interactivity.

Thanks,
Vash.

Hi Vash,<br />
I don't think Interactive Viewer provides an out of the box approach for this. However you can achieve this in a couple of ways:<br />
<br />
<ul class='bbcol decimal'><li>Create a parameter in the report design and have this parameter drive how much data you want to see in the report output. </li><li>Get the entire data set back and use javascripting to display the subset of data that is of interest to your clients.</li></ul>

Ashwini,

Thanks for the reply.

I think I will have to use the report parameter approach to pull data as per each clients requirement.
I don't want to get the whole data set back - as my data is huge.

Thanks,
