Understanding Report Parameters
Report parameters enable users to filter the data returned in the report to what is most relevant to their needs.
Cascading parameters
Many of the parameters in the reports are cascading
, meaning that the
parameter is dependent on the selection of the previous parameter to filter the
available list of values. For example, when a user opens the Contact Free
Continuous Monitoring – Sensor Expiration and Alerts report, they
must select an Entity Type before they can select an
Entity. Only entities that match the entity type the user
selects will be displayed.
Saving
The reports are semi-intelligent in that they will remember the parameters that the user last selected for a report the next time they open that report. This prevents the need to re-enter all of the parameters each time a user opens a report.
