Hello Anderson,

Thank you for the screenshots.

After converting a Crystal Report to a Telerik Report (TRDP file) using the conversion tools, parameters from the original Crystal Report are not always transferred automatically to the converted Telerik report. This is a known limitation of the conversion process, particularly when reports include custom parameter logic or more complex parameter configurations.

Yes, you need to manually add the report parameters in the Telerik Report after conversion. Parameters will not appear automatically in the Report Explorer of the Standalone Report Designer or Web Report Designer after conversion.

If you need to automate this process for multiple reports, consider using custom scripts or tools to assist with parameter migration, but manual adjustment is generally required for accuracy.

More information about the conversion process and its limitations can be found here - Converting reports created with SAP Crystal Reports - Telerik Reporting.

I hope the above information will be useful. Let me know if you have other questions.
