Parameter for report title

Hello,
I have a report with many pages and I need the same title on every page. To do so, I would like to use a parameter which could be defined by the user through a VBS inputbox and then reused on each page.
I tried something with scalar parameters : B1, B2, B3... (see attached file) but I don't know how to change their values. Is it possible to do it this way? Otherwise, do you have any other method?
Thank you in advance for your support

Hello Jeremy,
In addition to Brad's suggestion with the properties, have a look at the "Master Layout" function in DIAdem.
A Master layout allows you to define some standard elements (those could include logos, texts - including variables, boxes, etc.) that will appear on each page of your report in the same location and cannot be edited or moved by the person working on the layout (somewhat like a watermark)
Let us know if you have questions about this function, it's pretty neat ...

  • Prompt parameter in Report Title

    I have created one summary report and this report has two drill downs detail reports. First Summary Report is Sales report by Country, Second report is sales report by State and Third report is Detail Sales Report.
    I am passing parameter Country on second report. I used Narrative View to show Selected Country name on the report Title. This is working and Selected Country Name is appearing on Title (Narrative View). But Some reason I am unable to show State name on third Report. Still it is showing Country Name on third report. I want to show State name on it. Any idea?

  • How to select entered parameter for report?

    I developed a report in SSRS 2008R2 with several parameters. But now when the use selects the Supervisor from this query, it automatically changes to a different supervisor!
    Select Distinct
    Null As [supervisor_id],
    '-All-' As [supervisor_name],
    0 as sort
    UNION ALL
    select distinct
    supervisor_id,
    staff_name as [supervisor_name],
    1 as sort
    from staff_view v WITH (NOLOCK)
    where staff_id not in ('07BBA230-CA6E-402E-AEAF-FF1CB48AA41A','6394C3A3-5402-4578-BBF1-31FFCDD4EB90')
    Order By sort, [supervisor_name]
    In my report I have a SupervisorID parameter which uses supervisor_id as the value and supervisor_name as the label. (This is the Text datatype).
    I also tried running this as a text query instead of store proc, but this exhibited the same behavior. I also broke down this view into the source tables with the same behavior:
    select distinct
    supervisor_id,
    [supervisor_name] = evolv_cs.dbo.FormatName(people_rv.last_name,people_rv.first_name,people_rv.middle_name) +
    Case When IsNull(staff_rv.end_date, '12/31/2100') < GetDate() Then
    ' (Ended: ' + Convert(Varchar(10), staff_rv.end_date,101) + ')'
    Else '' End,
    1 as sort
    FROM
    staff_rv with (nolock)
    INNER JOIN people_rv with (nolock) ON staff_rv.people_id = people_rv.people_id
    INNER JOIN agency_rv with (nolock) ON staff_rv.agency_id = agency_rv.agency_id
    where supervisor_id is not null and
    staff_id not in ('07BBA230-CA6E-402E-AEAF-FF1CB48AA41A','6394C3A3-5402-4578-BBF1-31FFCDD4EB90')
    Order By sort, [supervisor_name]
    I'm not sure what else to try?
    Also, the code for FormatName is:
    ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[FormatName](@last [nvarchar](4000), @first [nvarchar](4000), @middle [nvarchar](4000))RETURNS [nvarchar](100) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLERAS EXTERNAL NAME [EvolvSQLCLR].[UserDefinedFunctions].[FormatName]

  • Passing of userid as a parameter for report viewing in Flex portal

    Hi,
    We are using flex application and Business Objects reports are integrated with it. We had created one service id which is used to access reports from application. Also we want to implement Data Access in Business Object's Reports. and for the same we want to pass UserID as a parameter internally from Flex code to the reports. We cannot use @BOUserID as we are using single service id. We want to pass "UserID" as a parameter (which we can get from Flex application) and pass this to Report OR Universe which internally filter out the data accessible to the respective user. Kindly advise on the same.
    Thanks,
    Eswar

    I've resolved this issue by creating a prompt in universe and inserting the security table in the universe structure

  • Date Parameter for Report

    Hi,
    How can I add a date parameters to a report using date pickers?
    Please Help!!! :)

    William,
    Most of the time you'll want to allow for a range of dates to be selected using the BETWEEN operator. But since your trying to do an exact match try the following:
    select "CSC_MASTER"."LEAD_LOGON" as "LEAD_LOGON",
    "CSC_ACTIVITY"."ACTV_DESC" as "ACTV_DESC",
    "CSC_MASTER"."PRIORITY" as "PRIORITY",
    "CSC_ACTIVITY"."ACTV_DT" as "ACTV_DT",
    "CSC_ACTIVITY"."ACTV_TIME" as "ACTV_TIME",
    "CSC_MASTER"."STATUS" as "STATUS"
    from "CSC_ACTIVITY" "CSC_ACTIVITY",
    "CSC_MASTER" "CSC_MASTER"
    where "CSC_MASTER"."CSC_ID"="CSC_ACTIVITY"."CSC_ID"
    and (to_char(actv_dt,'dd-mon-yyyy') = lower(:P32_SEL_DT))Make sure the format string in the to_char matches the format string you're using for the date picker.

  • How use parameters on a html region for report query region

    Hi all.
    I have created a number of report regions which initially query some data.
    The requeriment now is to have a date range (initial and final) and use this range as a parameter for report queries.
    i created a new region containing these two date values. Now i need to:
    - Give this date fields and initial value: say first and last day of current month.
    - Perform a validation to ensure initial date is less or equal to final date.
    - And most importantly, i need to reexecute the queries based on this date range.
    How do i do it...?

  • Duplicate report title for every date where records are found in date range

    Hi,
    I have a developed a report that lists multiple entries by date range with a page break separating each date. What I would like to include now is a report title which only appears once for each date, and separated by page break.
    Example:
    (Business Unit)
    (Address)
    (Report Title)
    (Date)
    Entry 1
    Entry 2
    Entry 3
    Entry 4
    Entry 5
    Entry 6
    Entry 7
    (Business Unit)
    (Address)
    (Report Title)
    (Date)Entry 1

    Hi Camelbak2113,
    According to your description, it seems that you want to eliminate the duplicate report title for every date. If in this scenario, I suggest that we can try to add a group grouped on date range, and then add a child group grouped on report title. Then add
    page breaks between each instance of date range group.
    If I have something misunderstood, please provide us more information about the report. Such as provide us some screenshots about the report with sample data. So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
    Thanks,

  • One parameter for multiple Crystal reports in Publication

    Does anyone know if it is possible to enter one identical parameter for multiple Crystal reports in publication when scheduling? BOE 3.1 SP3 Windows, Java.
    To elaborate I am creating publication with multiple reports, each report has one parameter and this parameter is identical in every report in publication. So instead of entering this parameter many times I would like to enter once. 
    If yes point me in the right direction to get the how to or post the steps.

    Daniel,
    Thank you so much for your answer. It was very helpful. In the end, it didn't work but it helped me figure out what was happening. I use a different form for the reports and I had it coded in the form which report to use. I created a second form for the second crystal and then I used an if statement to choose the form and it worked like a charm.
    Thanks so much again!

  • How to make a common parameter for two subreports in the main report.

    Hi,
    I have a crystal report which has 2 subreports in it. Both the subreports have the same code and I need to create a parameter for Project Cost in both the subreports for filtering the data.
    When i create the same parameter in both the subreports, i see two parameters with same name on my prompt page while refreshing the report. however I just want 1 parameter on my prompt page and data should get filtered in both the reports.
    Can anyone please suggest something, How can I do that? is there a way for sharing same parameter between two subreports?
    Thanks!
    Neha.

    hi Neha,
    here's how to do this:
    1) create a new parameter with the same name on the main report
    2) right click on your first subreport and choose Change Subreport Links
    3) in the Field to Link To list drag over your new main report parameter
    4) open the Subreport Parameter Field to Use select menu and choose your subreport parameter
    5) repeat steps for the 2nd subreport
    now you'll only get prompted once.
    cheers,

  • Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
    For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
    Thanks
    DR

    You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
    If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

  • How to put parameter for object/table ID in BW Web Report

    Hi All,
    In my BW Web report, i want to get my object TABLE_1 but the code below seems not to work.
    var mytable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
    Checking on it, i think IE recognize only document.getElementsByID. ( I tested it by manually creating a table in my template and putting a tag for table ID) But BW does not generate the Object ID in the parameters below, only the name.
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
             <param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
             <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
             <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
             <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
             <param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
             <param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
             <param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
             <param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
             ITEM:            TABLE_1
    do you know how i can add a parameter for object ID? do you know any steps how i can retrieve my table using javascript?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi JTi,
    what i have understood from your requirement is that you want to access the web item table_1 in javascript, you can get that as below:
    Add
    <span> 
    tag before your web item and set its id to table.
    <span id = "table">
    <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
    <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
    <param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
    <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
    <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
    <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
    <param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
    <param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
    <param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
    <param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
    ITEM: TABLE_1
    </span>
    In javascript access it as :
    var mytable = document.getElementsById("table");
    Hope this helps
    Thanks
