passing parameter from catalog to report

[Tom]

I have a report catalog of 20 some reports

I pass a parameter to the report cataglog  ie  RanchID 

My parameter shows up on the report catalog header

 

I need to pass that same parameter to the report I launch from the catalog.

Thank you

Hi Tom,

I can imagine the report catalog in the following ways.

1. The report catalog is a regular report with Navigate To Report Actions that lead to the other reports.
2. The report catalog is a regular report with SubReports that display the other reports inside the main one.
3. The report catalog is a Report Book that consists of the other reports.

To pass the RanchID parameter to the other reports, they first need to have a dedicated report parameter to accept this value. Once this is done, you can map the RanchID parameter from the main report to the corresponding parameter of the child report in the ReportSource of the item you are using.

The Navigate To Report Action, SubReport Item, and Report Book all have ReportSources but here are the dedicated articles for each of them.

• Setting ReportSource for Drillthrough/Navigate To Report Action
• SubReport - Defining the Parameters
• Report Book Parameters Overview

I hope this answers your question but do not hesitate to ask if you need additional assistance.

Momchil
