Enter Values Dialog Box

You can use the Enter Values dialog box to specify multiple values for a parameter. This topic describes the options in the dialog box.

Designer displays the Enter Values dialog box when you select the drop-down button in the Enter Parameter Values dialog box if the parameter allows for multiple values.

Enter Values dialog box

You see the following options in the dialog box:

All Values

Designer displays the option when the Enable the "All Values" Option property of the parameter is true. Select it if you want to apply all values to the parameter, which can be all values of the parameter determined by Logi Report Engine, all values in the database, or all the available values according to the Scope of All Values setting of the parameter.

Only when you clear this option, Designer enables the following options for adding values.

Available Values

The box lists all the available values of the parameter for selection. When the parameter is bound with a column, but the display column is different from the bound column, Designer lists values of the display column in the box.

Enter Values

Designer displays the option when the parameter's Allow Type-in of Value property is true. You can use it to add values for the parameter manually.

Calendar button
Designer displays the button only when the parameter is of the Date, Time, or DateTime type. Select it to open the calendar to specify a date and time value.

Selected Values

The box lists the values that you select to apply to the parameter. The selected values are case sensitive.

Sort icon

Select to display the Sort drop-down menu to select the order in which to sort the values.

Ascending
Select to sort the values in ascending order.
Descending
Select to sort the values in descending order.
No Sort
It is the default order, which means the values are listed as how you add them if the parameter is a type-in parameter, or based on their original order in the database if the parameter is bound with a column.

The change of sort order is a one-off action which Designer does not remember after you exit the dialog box, meaning, each time when you open the dialog box, Designer always applies No Sort to the values.

Search icon

Select to open the search box to search for values. To start searching, type the text you want to search for in the search box and Designer lists the values containing the matched text.

You can make use of the following options in the search box:

Drop-down icon
Select to list more search options.
- Highlight All
  Select to highlight all matched text.
- Match Case
  Select to search for text that meets the case of the typed text.
- Match Whole Word
  Select to search for text that looks the same as the typed text.
Delete icon
Select to close the search box and cancel the search.

Add button

Select to add the specified values from the Available Values box to the Selected Values box, or add the value you type in the Enter Values text box to the Selected Values box.
