Dynamic & Cascading Parameters (advanced alternative)   Video Demo of Special Dynamic and Cascading Parameters in DataLink Viewer
DataLink Viewer can detect the presence of a prompt report designed as a data source for a specific parameter and link to that report in a dialog requesting the user to select one or multiple values.  If the prompt report itself detects 2nd-level prompt reports for its own parameters, it links back to that report.  This provides a linked hierarchy of parameters whereby, for example, the pick list for products is restricted by a prior parameter presenting a live list of product types.
  • Select Live Parameter Values from linked Crystal reports that act as dynamic pick list data sources or default to using Crystal’s static parameters

  • Restrict Live Parameter Values based on user’s choice in a prior static or dynamic parameter

  • Remember Values last used for each Live Parameter allowing the user to accept or replace those values
