Finally, the wait is over! Report authors now have even greater flexibility when it comes to define default values for all prompt types.
A newly added ‘Parameters' view allows authors to set default values and default range values for many different types of parameters such as String, Date, Time, Date&Time and Interval.
Experience our natural language interface, advanced caching and more at the June 8 launch event!
When setting the default values, authors can use static text, values from a data item, or report expressions.
Row limit can be used to specify top/bottom number of values to be selected as defaults. For example, this prompt will by default always select the top 3 values returned from the datasource.
And here is an example of a date prompt always use ‘yesterday’ as the default selection.
We’ve also added dynamic defaults for first and last day in a calendar prompt. Here is an example to show date selections are limited to 3 days before and 3 days after the current date:
Finally, new ‘All parameters’ view gives user a comprehensive list of all parameters in a report.
The possibility of this feature is endless. How would you take advantage of this feature in your reports?
