Enter Values dialog

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.
