Contents
The Criteria Template section on the Report Template tab of the Edit Report Page defines the criteria section of a custom report template containing the prompt(s) for report parameter(s) when report criteria are used.
When the Criteria Template is used, the report parameter prompt does not manifest as a pop-up when the report is run, but remains at the top of the page.
Example: Our report prompts the user for two criteria:
We want to make the Last Name parameter default to the current user's last name.
When we run the report, we see the following criteria prompt:
Variables
To show certain buttons on the criteria page, you can reference variables in the Criteria Template:
- @submitbutton@
- @exportbutton@
- @fileexportbutton@
For reports containing multiple criteria, the variable syntax for the different criteria elements is argn where n is the order of the criteria defined in the Report Builder.
- @arg1.label@ returns the text label of the input
- @arg1@ returns the input field for the criteria
- @arg1.id@ returns the element ID of the input
Notes
- The Criteria template is not rebuilt when the report is rebuilt.
