BIRT If-Else conditional section

Pradeep

Can some one give me an example how to do "IF ELSE CONDITIONAL SECTION " that we can implement in previous Actuate 7/8.I want to implement report that can be invoked conditionally.
In Actuate 7/8 if else conditional section can be used to implement this but don't know
how to do this BIRT.
your help is appreciated.

There are a lot of ways you would implement IF/ELSE conditions in BIRT, within data elements to display different columns based on a condition, using a visibility expression, or in a scripting level to do, for example, changing a hyperlink to do a regular hyperlink under one value condition, or do a drill down to another report for a different condition.<br />
<br />
Since tts been a while since I've looked at ERD Pro I am a little fuzzy on the exact way the If/Else element worked, so if you can be more specific that would be helpful. Give me a specific Use Case that you want, and I'll explain how you would accomplish it?<br />

I think visibility expressions or nested tables with Filters would be the closest thing to the AcConditionalSection.
Scripting or a Dynamic report table generation system would be the true way, but also pretty complicated.

JOhn thank you for the reply. I believe as said by you using the visibility feature in BIRT should work for me. I had figured out the same. <br />
ANy way all i was trying to get was create 5 different reports and show only one report based on the condition i put. THank you very for follow up<br />
