In a recent Crystal Report I developed we will need to choose the group of customers that we are looking at. For that we need to query the customer type on the customer profile page (I don’t know the name of the field in the table). This will limit which customers appear together with one another.
As you can imagine, there are secuity considerations that can be invoked as to who can see which companies, etc.
As a general thing we would like to include these reports into the interface of reports that were developed for us. In the interface, the customer id, date range, categories etc can be chosen.
The issue is, how best to pass or receive parameters in this type of situation. Does one use a sort of parameter table rather than creating a parameter in the report?
