Parameter list too long

hatra

Hi all,
I have a requirement to design a report with long list of parameter value over 100.
Does anyone have a solution or a example report from sample db to group the parameter in a categories?
ie: Group them into 10 categories ( cascading param)
and then get 10 on to second param? or any better solution?
thanks

Hi,
 
Can you give a bit more detail on what you are trying to accomplish here? A sample of the parameter values, maybe? Having a 100 or so values in a list doesn't seem excessive.
 
Thanks,

Hi sorry I havent yet developed it, but here is more explanation;
I have a parameter list of countries.
since list of value from parameter is too long I was to categorise it by lets say alphabetic order.
So I want to creat a cascading param where I have values like A-C, D-F, G_I etc in my first param,
and when I select A-B from first param the second param should only show countries starting with A,B, C, , this is my theory.
basicly my param list is too long and not easy for the user to read through all, so I want to categories it to smaller peace.
hope this is a little more clearer

In commercial Actuate BIRT we have a parameter type using 'Auto Suggest' (think typing in to Google). Using OS BIRT you would need to either implement such technology or use categories as you suggest.

Thanks mblock,
I think we ant able to do the OS BIRT sadly .
I seems to have a little issue with this category theory, have you come across this or have a sample somewhere I can take a look.
cheers

micajblock

What version of BIRT are you using?

hatra

Actuate BIRT Designer Prof
Version 11.0.4

micajblock

But you said that you need OS BIRT. Please explain.

hatra

We are not able to do or implement OS BIRT.
So I have to go via the Category theory, I ask if you have a sample in this way I would be gald to take a look

micajblock

If you are using Actuate BIRT I would use Auto Suggest see attached example.

hatra

Cheers will do, I just think our client wont know what to look unless to see the value. But thank i will take a look.
will you be able to attache the report dependency too please ( I think there is a library, Modern table etc)
Thanks

micajblock

It should be part of your default installation, but here it is in any case.
 
P.S. If you remove the dependency you will just lose the look and feel.

hatra

Thanks mblock

Hi mblock,
I have tried the sample report you sent, not getting the suggestion, not sure if it is our installation or something I do wrong?

micajblock

Run the report, in the parameter, start typing 'A", then you will get a list of customers starting with A

hatra

Hey,
Tried it but nothing apears.

micajblock

Works for me. What happens when you go to Help/About. What version does it say there.

hatra

micajblock

What is the build number?

micajblock

OK, so I installed your version and it still works. Attached design I built on your version and screenshots of
<ol><li>version I used</li>
