Enter Values
The Enter Values dialog box is used to specify multiple values for a parameter. It appears when you click in the value combo box while specifying values for a parameter that allows for multiple values.
All Values
Available when the parameter's Enable the "All Values" Option property is true. It specifies whether to apply all values of the parameter. When the parameter is inserted as a field into a report and All Values is selected as the value, the field will show the string "All".
Only when this option is unselected, can the following options for adding values be enabled.
Available Values
Lists the predefined parameter values for selection. When the parameter is bound with a column, but the display column is different from the bound column, values of the display column are listed here.
When the parameter has more than 500 values, after you scroll down to the bottom of the value list, more values will be automatically loaded into the list.
