Parameter value selectors

32 Views

Hi,

Is it possible to add custom parameter selectors? What I need to be able to do is to allow our end users to be able to select particular parameters from some reports using a search facility rather than just supplying an ID.

For example, if a report is focussed on a person, then I need to allow the end user to be able to search for a person rather than just typing an ID.

We would like to either:

1) plug in a control to the Crystal engine so that it knows to use our search control when certain criteria are met on the parameter definition.

2) pre-scan the parameters and populate said parameters ourselves with the search result.

However, we also need to support cascading/dynamic parameters so the solution will have to be web based as we don't allow a database connection from our windows client.

Thanks for any suggestions!
