Use a report parameter to select signals

By default, the report contains all signals that are available in the result set. To limit the reported data to a specific signal, for example DAD1A, a report parameter can be used.

This procedure describes the creation of report parameter to select a specific signal.

  1. Create a new report parameter:

    • Parameter name: mySignal

    • Data type: String

    • Prompt name: Signal

    • Available values: DAD1A and FLD1A

    • Default value: DAD1A

  2. Create a composite group all relevant report items that you want to show for one signal only.

  3. In the Composite Group Properties, set Group Repeat to =Signal_ID.

  4. Create a filter for the composite group:

    • Expression: =Signal_Name

    • Operation: =

    • Value: =mySignal

  5. Preview the report, and refresh the preview.

  6. Click View Report to filter for the selected signal.
