If checked, the bursting definition will be removed from the report and the result will be generated based on whole data without data splitting.

Parameters

Displays parameters of the report with your last-time saved default values, which could be the values saved in this tab last time, or in the Enter Parameter Values dialog or Parameter Settings dialog, or when advanced running the report, and for a web report, could also be the values saved in the Parameters panel. Edit the values according to your requirement. You may specify parameter values in these ways.

If you have not yet set the default values on the server, or if you did but your saved default values cannot fully match the current parameters, all the parameters will use their default values specified in the parameters' definition as the initial values.

If no parameter is used in the report, "No Parameter Needed" will be displayed here.
