Hi,
I need some info on how to proceed on our requirement.
Our requirement is we have to first show the parameter names(only names not values). when the user selects one or more parameter names then the concerned parameter values should show up. then user will have to select the values then he will be guided to the report.
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions on this....
Thank you,
Priya.

Silver Member Hi,
This link might help you. For your parameter names to be displayed, you can use drop down menu.
--> To select one or more parameter names: &PARAMETER.(OR(FIND FIELD_NAME IN table)).NAMES.';
For rest of the section, you can use drill down concept.
Multiple drill down 1 Multiple drill down 2

Silver Member Hi Venkat...i will give u a example....
(Parameter names)
COUNTRY
STATE
CITY
So when the user selects COUNTRY, STATE then he has to see
COUNTRY STATE
USA ILLINOIS
CANADA NEWYORK etc
RUN
So now he selects USA and Illinois then he will go to the report by clicking on RUN button...
Any suggestions ???
Thank you,
Priya

You need to add a javascript control to the names to toggle the visability of the selection boxes
Silver Member Hi JG,
I am not that good in java scripting...Could you please suggest me some steps on how to code that toggle feature in HTML composer...
Thank you,
Priya

In it's simplest form you need something like this
look for the
& tags and change to match your system

Silver Member Thank you so much JG ...this is the exact functionality i wanted....i will try to replicate the same with our report and see...
Thank you,

Guru Haripriya -
You can build a launch page for your report in the HTML Composer and set the properties for your parameter controls (those that are chained) to hide their values initially or populate and hide the values until a selection is made in the upstream parameter control.
