Making a parameter mandatory for users

Avatar photoCustomer March 9, 2020 at 9:57 am

I need to ensure that users always enter a value for the ‘Ledger Name’ parameter before running the report. How is this simple mandatory entry enforced?

      You use the Required flag during parameter setup. The purpose of the required flag is to enforce a parameter value entry by the user, primarily to prevent accidental report submission with insufficient parameter restrictions.

      What is the consequence if the user attempts to run the report without filling a required field?

      If the requirement is not met, Blitz Report evaluates the logical expression at run-time and displays an error message, preventing the report from launching a concurrent process.

      I heard there is a way to make Parameter A OR Parameter B mandatory, not necessarily both. How is that accomplished?

      That utilizes the Advanced Required Parameters feature. By defining a logical expression based on parameter names, you can create an ‘either-or’ logic. For example, `:Customer_Name is not null or :Account_Number is not null`.

      If I use the Advanced Required Parameters feature, what does the button label show?

      For reports with an advanced logical expression set up, the required button label shows ‘Advanced’ instead of ‘Required’.
