6.3 Interactive Forms

6.3.1 Creating a Form

6.3.2 Processing a Form

Style Intelligence supports data entry and report customization through interactive forms. A form is a collection of interactive controls, such as Text fields, Radio Buttons, and Combo Boxes. Interactive forms are used primarily in two roles: Embedded in reports to allow report customization, and embedded in parameter sheets to allow parameter entry.

See the Parameterization section of Report Design for the basic methods of obtaining user input (without scripting). The following sections here expand on some of the more advanced features available for user interaction. There are two basic aspects:

Creating a Form: Client-side presentation and event scripting

Processing a Form: Server side scripting
