[CLOSED] Multiselect OR Tree Control
Another question, hopefully someone can help me with.

With the Multiselect OR parm that I have to create in the Composer, how do I pass the value to the Report fex? This does not behave like the other controls and anyway I try, it does not work.

Any suggestions?

The easiest way to do these is to create the fex first before the HTML, without the where statements and then be sure to use the GUI, inside Dev Studio to do your where statements and be sure to select the multi-select feature and it will code it for you. It prompts you through the steps. Hope this helps.

Thanks Kathy

I think in normal circumstances this should work like noraml but a Tree Control is a different "beast". It surely doesn't behave like the other controls.

I have to manually create a new parameter in Composer to allow it a multiselect to get my checkboxes instead of the radio buttons. I just don't understand how to pass that parameter to the report fex.

The issue has been resolved. For what ever reason, it failed to create the requestid for the parameter. I had to manually create it.


<requestidid="5"></requestid></variable>  


This is what I got from IBI.
