I'm about to start researching the following and decided to ask you guys as well.....

Is it possible to create a report that receives input parameters prior to generating the report?

So when the user selects the report then selects the Project, can I create a drop down below the Project parameter that lists the names from the Sharepoint Project Contacts list that a user can select a name and populate a field in the report?

Thanks in advance..... Bill

Hi Bill,

If I understand your question, you want to have dependent parameters: two parameters, when you select the first one, the second one is filled with data corresponding to the first choice.

If it's the case, you will need three datasets:

  1. The first dataset retrieves all the distinct projects.
  2. The second dataset retrieves all the distinct contacts that are in a given project.
  3. The third one retrieves the data for a given project and a given contact.

And you will have two parameters:

  1. "project" parameter: the values will be filled with the first dataset.
  2. "contact" parameter: the values will be filled with the second dataset

For more information, you can refer to the report sample named "Dependent Parameters" available as part of the product or you can refer to this link: http://www.enesyssoftware.com/Products/EnesysRSDataExtension/KBandSamples/tabid/93/EntryID/58/language/en-US/Default.aspx
