Completed Report Portlet

Here is a completed Completed Report Portlet. Several things to point out:

Parameters: Entering Valid Lever Names ( see Levers Portlet ) in the Parameter List field - causes the portlet to refresh and fields are displayed for entering default values for each lever. In this example: specific values for the lever are entered. Any value for that particular lever can be entered as a default value.

Parameters in SQL: The Levers are entered into the example SQL as follows:

• xtab_value_description = '$P{Value} and metric_code = '$P{MetricCode} and salesorgname = '$P{SalesOrg}'

• When the pane is displayed - those levers will appear at the top of the pane. Selecting values for them and clicking the GO button - will cause the portlet to refresh and the lever values will be used in the SQL statement.

Parameters in Titles: Lever values can be used in Titles as well. The report title of Top $P{Cutoff} Customers will change based on the value selected in the Cutoff Lever.
