Report Definitions
Completing the Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab for informational purposes to document the name, description, and data type of parameters used in the report definition.

When a report definition is run within a workflow and is embedded in a section, an activity with a Property-Set method typically runs before the report definition is run, and supplies values for the parameters. Then, the standard activity pzOpenAndRunReport is called, passing the parameter page.

You can use parameters within the rule:

• On the Query tab to help establish data filters. Use the parameter on the left side of the filter condition, as in where param.ThisThing > . pxThatThing.
• On the Data Access tab to help establish class joins or the data drawn from subreports. The parameter goes on the left side of the statement.

For security reasons, report definitions run on a web node as part of a Pega composite application cannot use parameters.
