Dynamic & Cascading Parameters (advanced alternative)
DataLink Viewer can detect the presence of a prompt report designed as a data source for a specific parameter and link to that report in a dialog requesting the user to select one or multiple values. If the prompt report itself detects 2nd-level prompt reports for its own parameters, it links back to that report. This provides a linked hierarchy of parameters whereby, for example, the pick list for products is restricted by a prior parameter presenting a live list of product types.
-
Select Live Parameter Values from linked Crystal reports that act as dynamic pick list data sources or default to using Crystal’s static parameters
-
Restrict Live Parameter Values based on user’s choice in a prior static or dynamic parameter
-
Remember Values last used for each Live Parameter allowing the user to accept or replace those values
