Displaying Prompt results on Report

[JKas]

Hello,

How can I add the user entered prompts on the report header page? I tried using the Layout Component Reference. However, that just re-displayed the entire Prompt box. I only want to display the prompts as input by the users.

Thanks

Jeff

Do you mean the prompt values that a user enters?

Sorry,

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. It could be dates, numbers, etc.

Thanks

Which application are you using ?

In Impromptu go to Insert Menu -> More Ibjects -> Prompt variables and select the required prompt or you could create a calculation conatining just the prompt field and add this to the report just as you would any field.

Sorry again,

I am using ReportNet v1.1. But I will try the calculation. Thanks

This is simple in reportnet.

1. Drag a new text item to the location in the report (ie header / footer etc) where you want to display the selected prompt values.

2. When the pop-up box appears asking you to enter the text, just click OK without entering anything.

3. It should now appear on your report as a text item that says "Double-click to edit text".

4. Click once on this text item so it is gray, and go to the properties window. There should be a property called 'Report Expression'. Click on the ... next to this to edit the expression.

5. From the window that opens up, click on the parameters tab, and select the parameter that is satisified by the prompt.

6. The expression that is generated in the right hand pane should be something like "ParamDisplayValue(parametername)"

7. Click OK and run the report, and voila!

Cheers
