Hi,
OK
Assuming you are using Page 1 for the report, do the following:
1 - Create a new HTML Region called "Search" and put this above your report on the page layout
2 - Add a normal Text item called "P1_CUSTOMER_ID" into the new region - this will be where your user enters in the CUSTOMER_ID value that they want the report to filter by
3 - Add a Hidden Item called "P1_DISPLAY" into the new region. Set the Default Value for this item to N. If this is 'Y', the report will be shown - if this is 'N' the report is hidden
4 - Add a button called "P1_SEARCH" into the new region
5 - Add a button called "P1_RESET" into the new region
6 - Update your SQL statement to include a WHERE clause:
SELECT ....
FROM ....
WHERE CUSTOMER_ID = :P1_CUSTOMER_ID
(you may have to do TO_NUMBER(:P1_CUSTOMER_ID) if your CUSTOMER_ID field is numeric)
7 - Add a branch to the page that branches to Page 1 and sets P1_DISPLAY to Y. Set this branch to be run only when the P1_SEARCH button is clicked
8 - Add another branch to the page that branches to Page 1 and sets P1_DISPLAY to N. Ensure that this has a higher sequence number than the first branch
9 - Finally, add a Conditional Display to the report region. Set the Condition Type to "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2". Enter P1_DISPLAY into Expression 1 and Y into Expression 2
