Parameter drop down issue in XI Rel. 2 report viewed with XI Rel. 1

I've modified a report (originally created in Rel. 1) with Rel. 2.  I've modified the one parameter.  Everything works fine when viewing the report in Rel. 2.  When I send the report to someone with Rel. 1, they get the parameter screen with a blank text box and the name of the value element defined for the parameter in the upper right hand portion of the parameter screen.
If they click okay, that parameter screen is replaced with the correct one - that displays a dropdown and doesn't have the parameter value element displayed.
The same is happening with other reports I'm working on.  Short of upgrading everyone to Rel. 2 (which is likely not a viable option), any suggestions?

Hi
Please provide the exact version and patch level of Rel. 1 that the users are working on.
Version : You can find this infrmaion at HELP>>About Crystal Reports
Patch Level : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Patches\History.txt
- Also, are you and the rest of the users opening these reports within crystal report designer application direcly?
- What happens if they create new reports at their end which include parameters in them.Does the same thing occur for these reports also?

  • Crystal Report 2008 with ClearQuest 7.1, parameter drop down list

    Hi all,
    I am creating the reports using CR 2008 and uploading their design into CQ 7.1.
    The issue I have has to do with the  dynamic cascading parameters of the report.
    When designing everything is working fine. I am able to choose my first param, the project and based on the chosen project, the second param shows related reviews.
    The problem is when i upload the design into CQ, the parameter drop down list is not there and instead there is a free form text field.
    How do I resolve this issue, any ideas?
    Thanks
    -PAP

    Hello,
    I believe that version of CQ uses the CR RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) to run reports. That engine is legacy and it never supported cascading Parameters.
    Talk to CQ on upgrading to the latest .NET report engines. I believe they are working on an updated version.
    Only option is to not use cascading parameters until you upgrade.
    Thank you

  • SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

    Hi
    I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
    get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
    idea to what to troubleshoot here.
    Thanks
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
    want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
    Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • Drop down Issue

    Hi
    I have one report with using dashboard prompt and table.While filter the records based on that displaying the records.
    In that table i used navigate another report. In navigated report developed pivot chart with using pages(drop down names).
    1. My requirement is while without using dashboard filter it should display all the names in drop down list in my navigated report.
    and it should display in drop down, which name selected in my table.
    2. If i selected dashboard prompt it should display based on the names only in drop down and what name i selected in table that should be in my drop down.
    E.g
    1. I have names like Name1, Name2, Name3,Raj1,Raj2,Raj3 without using dashboard prompts.
    While clike the Name1 it should be display my navigate report drop down corresponding name. and similarlly
    it display all the name also in my drop down. How to do this.
    2 In my first report i used Country='UK'
    Under UK have the Name like Raj1, Raj2, Raj3.
    This name should be display in my navigate report drop down. and If i select Raj1 that in my navigate drop down first.How to do this
    In my first report i used country filter becos of Coutry is dashboard prompt.
    In Navigated report i used country filter bcos of i should display the country name in navigated report.
    Thanks

    hi,
    Use ISPromoted filter condition in the navigate report (Column -->Page drop down one)
    So that it will filter and show the value in the page drop down of the pivot table

  • Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

    I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"
    Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt).  It has two dynamic drop downs. They work
    in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview)  and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).
    The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down
    is a child of the first.
    I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.
    I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure
    the _DC_n object.  (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)
    The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.
    However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the
    "dynamic dropdown" is not working properly.  I can not make sense
    of what has been retrieved.
    Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here?  The Business View Manager
    seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has
    not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.
                       ...thank you, Stan

    When you publish a report to Crystal Server, the dynamic prompts are no longer handled in the report itself.  Instead depending on how they're published, they either go away or they're published to the "repository" and managed through the "Business View Manager" (BVM), which is available as part of the Client Tools install.
    To get the dynamic prompt into the repository, you have to check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox at the bottom of the "Save As" screen after you log in to CRS.  However, doing it this way is NOT best practice, especially if you're using the query from the report to provide the data for the prompt.  If you do this for all of your reports, you get a LOT of bloat in the repository objects and it makes the job of migrating from one version of CRS to another MUCH more difficult!
    What I've done in the past to get a simple "sample" prompt published is create a report that just contains the data that I want to have in the dynamic parameter using a single table - this is usually what I call a "lookup" table that has a "code" field and a "description" or "name" field.  I then create a dynamic parameter in that report that just pulls the data from the single table.  I'll publish the report to my favorites with the Repository Refresh enabled.
    I then run the BVM and look for the following objects (default location is under "Cascading Dynamic Prompts":
    <prompt name>_DC - This is the Data Connection for the prompt.  Edit this, enter the password, and set it to "Never Prompt" for the password.  NOTE:  This DC can be reused by multiple prompts.  If you continue to add prompts through publishing Crystal Reports with prompts, you will get MANY of  these that all point to the same database!
    <prompt name>_DF - This is the Data Foundation for the prompts.  When you create a new one, you need to select an existing DC and then either one or more tables or write a command to provide the data for your prompt.  It works much like the Database Explorer in Crystal.  The one that was just saved has all of the information required for the prompt.
    <prompt name>_BE - This is the Business Element.  When you create one, you have to select and existing DF and one or more fields.  You can also create a filter on the data.  This is used to generate the SQL that will be run to provide the data for the prompt.
    <prompt name>_ BV - This is the Business View.  When you create one, you have to select the Business Element.  I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this, but you have to have one in order to set up the "List of Values".
    <prompt name> - This is the List of Values (LOV).  This defines what fields are available for the prompt itself.
    You can create folders to organize these objects so that its easier to maintain.
    To use a LOV that you've defined in BVM to feed data to new dynamic prompts, do the following:
    1.  Connect to CRS from Crystal.
    2.  Create/Edit your prompt.
    3.  Set the prompt to be dynamic.
    4.  Under "Choose a Data Source", select "Existing" and select the LOV from the drop-down list.
    5.  Update the properties in the parameter.
    When viewing or scheduling a report, the dynamic prompts will run through the Crystal Reports 2013 Report Application Server in CRS (it will be named differently if you're not on CRS 2013, but will have "Report Application Server" in the name.)

  • Parameter drop-down list

    Post Author: tss98
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Does anyone know how to create a drop-list for a parameter such that it will only show those records which meet a certain criteria? For example, I am developing a report which prints out a single record (for a permit), but the drop-down list shows all the possible permit numbers and I only want to show those that are related to some certain criteria (like a certain permit type or a certain location or a certain company).

    If it is a dynamic parameter then there is no way to get rid of the "..." since Crystal does not know what the values are to populate the parameter list until it is too late.

  • InfoView Parameter / Drill Down Issue

    Hi All,
    I'm currently using CR 2008 for design and running my reports in InfoView. I have a fairly standard report with about 6 groupings and 2 details sections. The groupings are hierarchichal and each can be drilled into. The report contains 5 parameters that the user has access to change in Infoview. One of the 5 parameters is a drop down list, the rest are free text strings.
    My problem occurs only when users change any parameter on the report and then attempt to drill down in the report. The result always ends up that the drill down will display the very first Group, with drill down, in the report rather than the one they selected to drill into. If a user opens the report and drills into any group before changing the parameters, everything works as expected.
    Has anyone ever seen this kind of behavior or know of a reason that this might be happening? Please help.
    Thank You,
    Patrick Johnson

    i have to show data on other report(2) not on sub report.
    which will display data based on user selection(on click, which he will do on first report(a) column)
    i am not able to retrieve data from report(a) column(user click event).

  • How to add drop down list for query manager report in sap business one

    Hi Every one,
    I need drop down list for parameter selection in sap business one Query Manager.I have two Parameters 'Sales Order','Invoice'.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards
    DEV

    Hi,
    you need to use this :
    /*select from [dbo].[OINV] T2*/
    DECLARE @Invoice varchar(100)
    /*where*/
    set @Invoice =/* T2.DocNum  */N'[%2]'
    you can change the tables and the parameter number but you have to write it exactly that way.
    when you run the query within the SBO you will get list of objects ( in this case list of invoices)
    hope it was helpful

  • Peachpit "Motion5" p. 54, Step 11 drop-down issue - my screen looks different

    This problem requires the Peachpit "Motion5" book to reference because it is copyrighted and I can't take a picture of the page in question.
    The subject page shows a drop-down window with "sliders" for Red, Blue, and Green and one is supposed to enter in new values for each color. HOWEVER, since the book is old and based on an earlier version of Motion5, this is a PROBABLE cause as to why the dropdown I'm getting looks different from the book's version.
    So, either the dropdown has changed, OR, "I'm not getting it." (the latter is a real possibility although I've tried every option I can think of)
    NOTE: I've tried to find Errata information for the book and there are only a few items listed, none of which covers this issue.
    My screen shot:
    The lesson requires that one type in 0.63 for Red, 0.35 for Green, and 0.06 for Blue. Unfortunately, one cannot enter in a decimal point, ergo, this cannot be done.
    The screen shot is for Motion 5.1
    Any ideas?

    The book said to "... click the disclosure triangle ...." and I took that to mean the triangle to the right of the Remap colored square. This I tried numerous times and wound up with the color scheme shown in your right screen shot.
    This has been a while so I don't remember the exact place, but after clicking on the arrow on the left side of the Remap (or maybe it was the colored square like you showed) there was a better window that opened:
    This one allowed me to dial in exactly the paramerters that was asked for.
    WHEW!
    What an ordeal. But it's over and figured out now. A relief.
    Like you mentioned, I also was waiting for the publisher, or some other publisher, to come out with a Motion 5.1 book but couldn't wait any longer. If they continue to print and sell the old "5" version you'd think they'd at least have a good Eratta page somewhere that would provide the changes as well as fill in the holes in the procedures. Certainly, if this was used for class instruction they would know what questions the students struggled with. Oh well.
    Currently I'm up to page 65 and struggling with Step 13 to get the bright orange/brownish-yellow color they show. I'm only able to get a light version of the general background color. Tried the grey also, and ditto there. Just isn't working. I'm getting the colors I want in the color box but not on the screen. Sort of a partial. The HUD looks just like the picture in the book.
    In Step 12 it says to "click the Add Filter pop-up menu ..." but I can't find where they're talking about it. I've looked everywhere. Need to take a rest and work on this tomorrow.
    Thanks for the support.
    Edit: What happened? What do you mean? This didn't help me - Geeze, I wrote it! Need to get some rest.

  • IPHONE LAYOUT PAYPAL DROP DOWN ISSUES

    Everything in my site is working as it should.  I created a desktop version tablet version and iPhone version.  I do not have any items outside of the working space. However, when I go to the phone site as soon as I click the paypal button(which has a drop down menu) the site zooms in and then starts floating all over.  www.summitindoornx.com (must view on phone more specifically iPhone).  The site works fine in every other aspect.  I do not have any scrolling, parallax or any anchors.  No random containers?  What gives??

    Ok so I tried a different approach and there seems to be no impact.  PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE PHONE LAYOUT AND YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE WHAT I AM DESCRIBING UNLESS YOU ARE ON A PHONE.
    Instead of using paypal drop down menus I created 2 separate buttons.  When the try to enter the required information in the txt box offered by paypal html buttons it does the same thing(ZOOMS IN FLYS ALL OVER THE PAGE, AND NEVER LOADS PROPERLY AFTER THAT). 
    So any drop down menu or text field you try to access ONLY on the phone layout creates this problem. You will not see this unless you are looking on a PHONE!
    Seems as tho PayPal integration hasn't been well thought out here.  Works on the tablet and on the desktop no issue.  In the case on my txt fields these are required as this is a registration which requires the persons name and the item they are registering for.  Can someone offer something?
    The site operates perfectly.....UNTIL YOU TRY TO ENTER TEXT IN THE BOX.

  • Button next to Buy drop-down issues

    Since this morning the small button next to "Buy" doesn't respond anymore.
    The drop-down arrow looks scrambled and not like a triangle. I can buy anything, but can not post to my wish list or execute another function which is under the triangle. (copy link etc. )
    Others in this forum experience the same. Tried to sign out, sign in, reboot, but nothing seems to help.
    Strange.

    Yes Matthew,
    I too face the same issue, and like yours it solved by itself. But I observed that, at that time my basis people have installed some patch.   after completion of that it becomes normal

  • DW CS4 drop-down issue - maybe browser issue?

    http://prosol1.com/employment2.html
    Hi - I put this drop-down thing together using JS and DW.  The Training expand and collapse seems to work for me in Chrome and IE but 2 other people tell me it's not working for them.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
    Thanks.

    There's a good number of validation errors on the page:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    But nothing that should be directly related to that one section.  Works for me in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
    Can you ask them what's not working, what browser/OS they are using and to possibly provide screenshots of what they see?

  • JSF drop-down issue

    Hi All,
    I have been reading a lot about drop-down boxes in JSF. Most of them have been very useful but have not been able to completely solve my problem here...
    I have a very simple page that displays a dropdown with model-id numbers. There is also a button below the dropdown which when clicked takes the user to another page and says "You selected this model: <model-id number from dropdown>"
    So far so good - all works fine. Now I wanted to add a description so that after clicking on the button I get the modelId as well as the model description - This just does not work - the page does not even come up and shows a lot of errors.
    In order to show the description as well I used the SelectItem constructor that accepts a value and a label. I used the modelId as the label and the model-description as value.
    Here is the jsp page code:
    <h:selectOneMenu id="selectedModel" value="#{modelBean.selectedModel}">
        <f:selectItems value="#{modelBean.models}" />
    </h:selectOneMenu>Here is the java backing bean code:
    This code is supposed to put the modelDescription as well - but does not work....
    public List getModels(){
            logger.debug("getting Models for display");
            this.models = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
            for(Model model: modelIds){
                models.add(new SelectItem(model.getDescription(),model.getModelId()));
                logger.debug("Model added: " + model.getModelId() +" | " + model.getDescription());
            return models;
        public void setModels(List<SelectItem> modelsList){
            logger.debug("setting Models frm display");
            this.models = modelsList;

            this.selectedModel = selectedModel;

            for(Model model: modelIds){
                models.add(new SelectItem(model.getModelId()));
            return models;
        public String getSelectedModel(){

        public void setSelectedModel(String selectedModel){
            this.selectedModel = selectedModel;
    I need help in figuring out what I am doing wrong? If you see there is very little difference between the code that worked and the above defective code.
    Thanks a TOn in advance,
