Input parameters
I see a few mentions about being about to request an input parameter from a user (ie date range) but i can not find any reference in the docs. How is this done in the Designer? Can I also pass values from my form to the viewer?
I also see a property in the designer for scripting language. Where can i use scripting? - Some of my data in the database requires Base64 and AES decrypt/decoding. The scripting sounds like what i am after to decrypt it. Either that or the DataBinding event - but that doesn't seem to fire.
Am I missing something with regards to the documentation? There seems to be a lot of undocumented features. I've looked at the user manual, article, knowledgebase, and forum but I am unable to find information on many items.

Hello,
Let us know if you need any additional help.
Thank you.
As a way you can use the variables in report with option RequestFromUser. In this case, before rendering report these variables will be prompted for a user.hunter wrote:I see a few mentions about being about to request an input parameter from a user (ie date range) but i can not find any reference in the docs.

You can use additional scripts, code in events. As a way, you can get the value in GetValue event and make decrypt/decoding.hunter wrote:I also see a property in the designer for scripting language.

Hi,
just tried to create a new report (2011.2 webfx) with one simple string variable (option "request from user" is on) and property "request parameters" on report level is set to true. when i switch to preview the time for compiling the report is noticeable faster then without the options and web preview always shows a blank page (no errors displayed).
hopefully i understood the way requesting user input by vars/params in viewer.
thanks in advance

We are experiencing the exact same problem. In the designer when going to preview we get asked to input values for the variables (where we checked request from user). When submitting the entered value the report is correctly filtered.danielwied wrote:Hi,

When we open the same report in the viewer fx we are also prompted to input values for the variables. But after submitting the report stays empty.

Hello.
Thank you.
What Data Source do you use in your report? Do you have access to data in viewer fx? Please, try to open in viewer fx report without filtering and variable.Stijn wrote:We are experiencing the exact same problem.

We are using an sql database as source. When we don't use the filter and variables it works. When we give the variable a standard value, the data is filtered on this value when starting up de viewer fx. But if we change the value for the variable by submitting a new value, the filter (data) doesn't change.Aleksey wrote:Hello.What Data Source do you use in your report?

We tried the same report in the windows forms version of the viewer and there it works.

Just to be 100% clear. What Daniel and Stijn are saying is exactly what one of my issues is. Except i am using the webviewer - not webfx.
