Adding Parameters to a Report

Report parameters differ from report filters as they include objects with specified parameter field values or blank values. While filters exclude objects that do not have a specific value. For Example, if an object has no value filled in for the selected field, it will appear in the report when that field is used as a parameter, but not when that field is used as a filter.

1. From the Configure Parameters pop-up, select a data series option from the Select Data Series dropdown menu. The option selected will determine the options available on the Configure Parameters pop-up.
