Insert Parameter Form Control dialog

The dialog appears when you click Insert > Web Controls > Parameter Form Control on the menu bar, drag Parameter Form Control from the Toolbox panel, or click the down arrow on the Insert Control Objects button and select Parameter Form Control from the drop-down list. It helps you to insert a parameter form control into a report for running reports from the current report. See the dialog.

The followings are details about options of this dialog:

Please Select Target Reports

Specifies the reports to run.

• Current
  Specifies to run the current report with the specified parameters.
  • Select Parameters
    Specifies the parameters that are used to run the current report. Once you select one of a group of cascading parameters, all the other parameters in the cascading group will be selected automatically, and vice versa.
• Others
  Specifies to run other reports.
  • Reports
