Parameter - Web Action Builder Dialog

The Parameter-Web Action Builder dialog helps you to build a Parameter web action on an object so as to run a specified report with the parameters defined in the dialog when the event bound with the action is triggered at runtime. It appears when you select *Parameter and select OK in the Web Action List dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Submit Action to Handler

Specifies the handler to handle the action.

• Default Handler in Current Server
  If selected, the action will be submitted to the current server to be handled.
• Customized Path
  If selected, the action will be submitted to a customized path to be handled. For example, http://127.0.0.1:8888/.
