Enter Parameter Values Dialog Box Properties

Use the Enter Parameter Values dialog box to specify the parameter values to rerun the dashboard. This topic describes how to specify parameter values.

Server displays the dialog box after you select the Enter Parameters Values button on the toolbar when a dashboard uses parameters. If you have enabled Show Enter Parameter Values Dialog in the JDashboard profile, Server also displays this dialog box when you run a dashboard with parameters. In this dialog box, Server lists all the parameters used in the current dashboard. Server allows same-name parameters when they are from different library components.
