I am new to WebFocus. I am trying to create a CSS in Composer with 3 tabs, each tab having 3 graphs and 3 reports. I want to use one dropdown on the main page that will pass a parameter as input to each report and graph on the tab selected to create dynamic reports. I may have missed it but is there a chapter in the documentation that covers this and if so what reference manual? Or can someone share an example where they have done the same? ThanksThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

You need to specify a WHERE clause with the parameter in each report and chart procedure. You should use the same parameter name in each. Then when you create the Composer page, import or reference each report and chart. When you do the first one, you will get the "New Parameters" dialog for the one parameter and you can select dropdown as the control. For the subsequent report and chart procedures, you will not get the "New Parameters" dialog since the parameter will already have a control. You will need to add additional hyperlink actions on the submit button though for each additional report and chart added.
