Run time parameters

edited June 2001 in General
When users define reports, is there a way for them to specify things like
date ranges to be entered when the report is run? I can't seem to find a
mechanism for this, but I feel like there has to be one.

TIA,

    In the data view you can set search criteria, and there is an option there
    to make it an "autosearch" field. Experiment with this and you will get the
    hang of it. Once you make a field an autosearch field it will query the user
    for appropriate input on that field (even if you set a default value under
    the search in the data view) when they run the report. NOTE: the autosearch
    only works when the report is run from the ground up, not if you run a
    preview while in design mode.

    Hope that helps.
