This article describes the syntax used with the ReportProperty variable in order to pass parameters to a report to be used as report criteria.
Contents
Syntax for passing static parameters to a report
- @ReportProperty(reportid,property,,"criteria")@
Where:
- reportid is the system ID for the report (see Determining the reportid)
- property can be:
- 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 static parameters to a report
- @ReportProperty2(reportid,property,,"@criteria@")@
Where:
- reportid is the system ID for the report (see Determining the reportid)
- property can be:
- 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 variable that returns the answer to the ??? in the report referenced by the reportid
Syntax for passing multiple parameters to a report
- @ReportProperty(12345,exportdata,,”criteria1”::”criteria2”)@
or
- @ReportProperty2(reportid,property,,”@criteria1@”::”@criteria2@”)@
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.
