Scheduled period reports with dynamic dates

SNCE

Please excuse my inexperience, I am building reports to be deployed on BirtOnDemand without yet having an account to try out the report scheduling functionality.

I am trying to build a report which users can execute manually or schedule via BirtOnDemand. The report parameters contain date periods to limit the results. My question is, when the user schedules this report, do they have to input fixed dates? If so, how can I enable users to schedule reports which have a dynamic period such as 1 day, current month, 1 month, or 1 quarter?

Is there a way I can accomplish this with parameters or would I need multiple iterations of this report?

You can define 4 parameters. 1-ReportDuration (day,month,currentmonth,quarter), 2-ReportDurationNumber, 3-FromDate, 4-ToDate.<br />
<br />
Based on the value picked in 1 and 2, at report runtime, determine values for 3-FromDate, 4-ToDate.<br />
<br />
