Hi Stimulsoft Team,

I'm having problem with regards to showing the Form with parameters for the report. Whenever I run the report, I have to press alt + tab just to show the form. Any idea on how to go with this?

Please see attached file and use the line from MvcViewer.sln

report.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Reports/TwoSimpleLists.mrt"));

As you will notice, the page will try to render the report and will result to timeout unless you press on alt + tab and click on the Ok/Cancel button.

Regards and Thanks,
Buknoy

Hello Buknoy,

Unfortunately, the forms are not supported in the Web, because when placing Web Application on the server side, the form will be displayed on the server machine, not on the client side. You can use Request from User variables as an alternative.

Thank you.

Hi Vladimir,

I was able to make it work using Request from User variables, the question is, how do I arrange the variables based on how I want them to appear? I've got check boxes that needs to be group or at least arranged together, dates, and input fields.

Regards and Thanks,
Buknoy

Hello,

The order of variables depends on their position in the data dictionary. Please specify the desired order in the report data dictionary using "Up" and "Down" navigation buttons:
