This article describes the syntax used with the ReportProperty variable in order to pass parameters to a report to be used as report criteria.


Syntax for passing static parameters to a report

@ReportProperty(reportid,property,,"criteria")@

Where:

  • recordcount - Count of the number of records within a specified report
  • csvdata - Report data, with each field separated by commas
  • exportdata - Report data, formatted as defined in the Advanced Export settings of the Report
  • criteria is the answer to the ??? in the report referenced by the reportid

Example:

  • The report with reportid 12345 has a criteria on a date field of "=???"
  • To generate the number of records in the report with a date of 2009-10-26:
@ReportProperty(12345,recordcount,,"2009-10-26")@

Syntax for dynamic parameters to a report

@ReportProperty2(reportid,property,,"@criteria@")@


Where:

  • recordcount - Count of the number of records within a specified report
  • csvdata - Report data, with each field separated by commas
  • exportdata- Report data, formatted as defined in the Custom Export settings of the Report
  • criteria is the variable that returns the answer to the ??? in the report referenced by the reportid

Syntax for passing multiple parameters to a report

@ReportProperty2(reportid,property,,"@criteria1@::@criteria2@")@

Where:

  • recordcount - Count of the number of records within a specified report
  • csvdata - Report data, with each field separated by commas
  • exportdata- Report data, formatted as defined in the Advanced Export settings of the Report
  • criteria1, criteria2, etc. are the variable that returns the answer to the ??? prompts in the report referenced by the reportid. Criteria1 is matched against the first instance of the ??? prompt in the Report Builder, criteria2 is matched against the second instance, etc., working from left to right.

Example:

  • The report with reportid 12345 has criteria on a date field of ">=???" and "<=???"
  • To generate the number of records in the report with a date range of startdate to enddate:
@ReportProperty2(12345,exportdata,,"@fullstartdate@::@fullenddate@")@

Notes

  • Do not use single quotes to encapsulate criteria.
  • Note that if the ReportProperty variable is used on a web page view, the report will be run every time the web page view is opened. Therefore, use this functionality sparingly or server performance may be impacted.
