[CLOSED] Cascading Parameters in App Studio
Using App Studio 8009

Trying to create a report where the user selects the 'Sales Rep' as the first 'Dynamic Parameter_1'
Next 'Parameter_2' is an auto populated drop down list of the Customers assigned to the Parameter 1 selected Sales Rep.
The user would then go on to select any other parameter values and run the report.

Right now even after I select the Sales Rep from a drop down list for Parameter_1; the entire list of Customers is still displayed.
I would like to see the contents of the Parameter_2 drop down be populated based on the user drived selection in Prameter_1.

Below is a paraphrased version of a portion of the current WHERE statement which is not dynamic....
WHERE ( Sales_Rep EQ '&SalesRep.(FIND Sales_Rep IN Sales).Sales_Rep:.' ) AND( Customer EQ '&Cust.(FIND Customer IN Sales).Customer:.' );

Any help on how to do this in App Studio would be great!

Thanks.

Dave,

From my understanding the FIND Syntax does not allow for filtering of data. What you would want to do is create a HTML page and chain your drop downs together. Do you have any experience with the HTML Composer?

Yes, I have built Self Service reports using the HTML Composer. But was hoping to build this as an App Studio report since I will also need to do a few report caster jobs against this report as well and was looking to make double use of the report.
Thanks for the suggestion.
