Understanding Parameter Sets
A parameter set consists of a collection of parameters that, when
applied to a report template, can change the appearance and filter
the content of the resulting report. With different parameter sets, a
single report template can produce a wide range of reports. Report
Expert includes a number of default parameter sets that you can
modify or create others.
In this chapter you will learn about parameter sets that are available
with Report Expert.
You will use this information to generate reports and create your
own parameter sets. See "Viewing and Generating Reports (page
97)" for details.
To properly define a parameter set, you must understand how each
of the parameter set controls is used. The following subsections
describe each of the controls.
The parameter sets are displayed on the Parameters and Editor pages
of Report Expert.
NOTE
Administrators can configure which parameters sets are displayed. See
"Configuring Parameter Sets (page 154)" for details.
The Date/Time/Shift parameter allows you to specify or change the
date/time and shift properties associated with a parameter set.
