Parameter Tab
Click the Parameter tab to manage report initialization and creation parameters.
Note: Values that you assign to parameters here will also be used for report preview in Style Studio (for reports saved as “repository reports”.
To automatically pass parameters to the report when it is generated, follow the steps below:
1. Press the 'Add' button below the table on the Parameter tab.

This opens the 'Add Parameter' panel.
2. Select 'Initialization Parameter' or 'Creation Parameter'.
Creation parameters are parameters for template-based (.srt) reports. Use these to set default parameter values and bypass the default parameter prompting mechanism (not custom Parameter Sheets). Initialization parameters are used to set global properties at initialization for a manually coded Replet class. Some of these are generic and can be used for all report types. (Report creation parameters can also be set from the Scheduler tab; see Creation Parameters.)
3. In the 'Name' field, select an existing report parameter or manually enter the name of a report parameter.
4. In the 'Data Type' field, select the data type of the parameter. Select 'Array' if the parameter requires an array of values.
5. In the 'Value' field, enter the value to be passed into the parameter. Enter a comma-separated list for an array parameter.

6. Press 'Apply'. The parameter that you added is now listed in the table.

7. (Optional) To modify the parameter settings, click on the parameter in the table and make the desired edits below the table. To remove the parameter, press the 'Delete' button below the table.
To add additional parameters, press the 'Add' button below the table and repeat the above steps.
Users can also sort columns with the Report Explorer. (See Interactive Reports in End User for more information.)
One popular initialization parameter is the Boolean 'sortOnHeader'. Set this to 'true' to enable users to click on a table column header and sort the rows by that column. (Note: 'sortOnHeader' cannot be enabled for Freehand tables, or when data has not been bound to the table using Style Studio.)
