Adding a component list parameter

Component list parameters use selected business object properties as report parameters. For example, if a work order report includes a WO_Number parameter, you can associate the WorkOrderNumber property of the WorkOrder object with this parameter. When you run the report, the parameter value is set to the number of the current work order.

  1. Select System > Agency Personalization > Reports Manager.
  2. In the Reports tree, browse to the report that you want to add a parameter to.
  3. Select the Parameters tab.
  4. Click Add above the Component List Parameters grid.
  5. Type the name of the parameter in the Parameter Name field.
    The parameter name that you specify here must match the parameter name that is used in your reporting tool. The parameter name should not begin with an @ character, because this is added automatically.
  6. In the Component ID field, specify the property of the business object that you want to use for the selected parameter.
    1. Click the popup button to the right of the Component ID field. The "form" tree shows the properties of the business object associated with the page the report is attached to.
    2. In the "form" tree, browse to the property you want and click Select. Infor Public Sector enters the property in the Component ID field.
    The property that you select must be the same as the parameter used for the report in your reporting tool. Otherwise, the report will not output the correct information. If you want to use a personalized business object that isn't in the tree, you can link the business object by clicking the link it to the page here link at the top of the tree.
  7. Click Approve.
    Infor Public Sector shows the parameter in the grid.
  8. Click Save.
