Crystal Reports Server Parameters bypass parmeter screen

Hi,

I downloaded a trial version of CR server, and when I upload my reports to the server it prompts for a parameter value before actually generating the data for the report. I don't get this prompt if I run one of the reports in the sample folders.

If I make a copy of the report from the sample folder and then upload to cr server the same issue happens, where it first opens a page prompting for the paramters before generating the actual reports. I have entered default values for both reports. What is the setting to bypass the parameter screen?

TIA
 
Hi,
You need to give a parameter a default value and then tell CR Server not to prompt - That is usually on the parameter panel..

You might want to review the docs here, since CR Server is a complex product and hard to learn 'on the fly' so to speak..

I played around with this feature some more. I've changed the optional prompt property to true on the parameter and I was able to resolved this issue.
