7.2.8 Embedded Parameter Sheets
The Parameter Sheets section explains how to create a parameter sheet, a reusable parameter entry form that is stored in the stylereport.srl file. This type of parameter entry form is very flexible, because it can be reused in multiple reports and can make use of a wide variety of report components. This is the preferred way to create a custom parameter entry form.
A reusable parameter sheet cannot be converted into an embedded parameter sheet, and an embedded parameter sheet cannot be converted into a reusable parameter sheet.
However, in some cases you may want to create a simpler parameter sheet that provides parameter input for just a single report and is saved together with the report itself (rather than in the global stylereport.srl file). This is called an embedded parameter sheet, and is the same type used by Ad Hoc reports (see Parameter Sheets in Ad Hoc Reporting). An embedded parameter sheet can only be used by the report in which it is embedded, and provides only a limited set of design components.
The following sections explain how to create an embedded parameter sheet.
