Using and submitting report parameters

Use the actuate.Viewer class to run report design and executable files. When a report design or executable runs, actuate.Viewer accepts parameters that modify the report output.

The actuate.Parameter class handles parameters and parameter values. The actuate.Parameter class enables a web page to display and gather parameters from users before processing and downloading a report to the client. Load the actuate.Parameter class with actuate.load( ), as shown in the following code:

actuate.load("parameter");

Load the parameter component to use it later in the page. Call actuate.Parameters functions to prepare a parameters page, display the parameters in the assigned <div> element, and assign the parameters to the viewer object for processing.
