Managing custom parameters
Custom parameters are used to pass values to a report. This means that the information displayed on a report can be different depending on what properties have been defined for the parameter. For example, a Beginning of the month" parameter could be used to generate a report on a monthly basis without the need to specify the current months start date.
To manage the list of custom parameters:
• Click the Tools button • The list manager will appear.
To create a new custom parameter:
• Click the Custom Parameter tab from the list manager. • Click the New button from the list manager (See Working with Parameters).
To modify an existing custom parameter:
• Click the Custom Parameter tab from the list manager. • Highlight the custom parameter you want to modify. • Click the Edit button from the list manager (See Working with Parameters).
To delete an existing custom parameter:
• Click the Custom Parameter tab from the list manager. • Highlight the custom parameter you want to delete. • Click the Delete button from the list manager. • Click Yes when the confirmation dialog box appears. The custom parameter will be permanently removed from ViewerFX for Crystal Reports.
Note: This action is unrecoverable. The only way to retrieve a deleted custom parameter is to restore a backup copy of the ViewerFX for Crystal Reports database.
