I am new to Pentaho Report Designer
Version using
Pentaho report designer 3.9
Pentaho BI Server 4.8
By default my reports display the parameters with the parameter label at the top with the drop-down field below.
When choosing the customer, the page currently it displays parameters like below.
Customer:
Drop Down Displays Here
I need to display the parameter like below
Customer: Drop Down Displays Here
Can anyone help me on this?
I don't think you can get the labels to the side, but if you have multiple parameters, you can go to the Structure pane and select Master Report (at the top). In the Attributes tab, for parameter-layout select either Horizontal or Flow.
I had a problem where there were too many parameters, and you couldn't scroll down to see all of them.
You can just go to Sturcture -> Master Report.
Click on Master Report, then click on Attributes.
Under Attributes have a parameter section, look on parameter-layout.
There are 3 options to choose: vertical, horizontal and flow.
You can just choose this 3 options to adjust your parameter layout.
Hopefully can help you.

I have below requirement but not sure how to proceed.
I have a page where I have two sections
Left section: Having list of report templates which user has saved previously by creating the .repx files, on select of this(left) section, right section will update.
Right Section: DevExpress designer to view/edit the repx.
Also I don't want to get individual .repx file from backed on click of each section, instead is it possible that I get all the section list with .repx file at a time and when user select the section then designer will load the selected repx file. ?
Thanks in advance.
I have a Cognos report and i have created 3 pages and 1 common prompt page. According to a radio selection in the prompt page i show the appropriate among these 3 pages.
In each page i have a block that is the header and there i just show title, current date and the selected values of the prompt controls (parameter values).
This header is the same among all pages and i want to find a way to create only 1 header section and then assign it on the top of each page. So if later i want to change anything in the header i will do it in one place.
Any ideas?
Re-using parts of a report (either from the report or other report in Cognos Connection) can be achieved with the help of layout component refenrences which are inserted into your report page and which refer to other existing components.
To use them proceed as follows:
Indentify the layout component(s) to be re-used (e.g. a table or a text or more or less anything less).
In the property list of that component go to the name and give it a unique name.
In the report page that is supposed to re-use the component drag an instance of the layout component reference to the appropriate location in the page.
Specify the target of the reference by choosing the report and within the report the named component (same name as given above).
Example
A block component (which could be incorporated into a header) is to be re-used. Give the block a name, e.g. my_block:
From the toolbox drag the layout component reference
to the report page. A dialog box opens which permits choosing the target component:
I made a form with a text box and list box that feed these inputs into the criteria section of my query. But once I make the query how can I set it up so I can make a report from that query without having to create a report from scratch every time.
P.S. I had to use the form to make the query and could not have the query pop up a parameter box before running because of a lookup table issue.
Build the report and then in the record source area of the report, which looks like building a regular query, use the field values from the form. ie right click the criteria area and choose build, in the dropdowns on the left you should see the form and the form fields.
I have a master report which has several columns, A, B and C.
When a user clicks on any data in B, using the onclick event, a subreport has to open showing some detailed data regarding the selected value.
It's not possible to create that behavior through the report designer. In order to create that kind of behavior you are describing, you will need to learn about Mondrian (in order to create Cubes for your data) and the Dashboard Editor (in order to create a view to replicate your desired behavior using data from the Cubes).
... you can however link to a separate report and show that report.
If you are more technically versed you can achive that within the same report as well, but it is more complex. Parametrize the visibility of your subreport and link to the current report with a changed parameter value for that subreport's visibility. Clicking that link will then re-generate the report with the new parameter set, and you can use a formula function on the subreport to trigger its visibility.
="javascript:window.open('/page.jsp?Parameter1="&URLENCODE([param1])&"&outputType=text/html&paginate=true')"
use this in on click attribute in report designer it may will help you
i would like to add a text box on top of the Dynamics Ax 2009 interface, that allow users to filter menu name.
Dynamics Ax has a 'big interface' with a lot of menu, sub menus etc. It would be nice to allow users to filters and visualize only filtered menu item .
Thanks
You will have to create your own toolbar instead of usual AX menu.
You can create toolbar with text field at the top and tree control that will represent filtered menu.
On load of toolbar you can scan menus at AOT and cache placement and labels.
When user enters some text to filter field you will rebuild your tree control according to matching.
There already is similar tool, but unfortunately I forgot it's name.
