Hi Linkzhou,
Why don't you directly use a var on Actual Delivery Date & include/exclude on # cases to report open/closed shipments.
Alternatively, You can achieve the same without making changes to backend, if you are ok with using WAD. In WAD 7, you can use a DropDown webitem instead of a RadioButton/Checkbox webitem since you cannot assign a Command on selection from a RadioButton/Checkbox webitem. Also, you would need to design the same in a web template since this will not be made available on your query selection screen.
In the DropDown webitem, use Data Binding Type -> 'Fixed List of Options' , here you can configure
Open -> under Action use Command 'SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE', choose your Actual Delivery Date char, Sign -> INCLUDING, Operator -> Equals, Equals -> Member Name, Member Name -> Direct Input -> # [Not Assigned]
Closed -> under Action use Command 'SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE', choose your Actual Delivery Date char, Sign -> EXCLUDING, Operator -> Equals, Equals -> Member Name, Member Name -> Direct Input -> # [Not Assigned]
Now when the user selects Open option from the DropDown webitem, the data provider query will be filtered for open shipments & vice versa for Closed option.
