How do I add parameters to an HR Talent Report in the Report Catalog

I want to be able to pass parameters to my report that I created from another report and filter my report based off those parameters. My report is showing the Employee Deductions and summarizing the Total Amount based on the parameters.

There are several parameters. Here are examples of those parameters. Deduction Code, EmployeeID, Employee Name, Active, Begin Date, End Date. How do I add parameters to the report and then how do I change the filter to use these parameters? I want to be able to add drop down box for deduction code and if possible, a calendar for begin and end date.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Please let me know if it would be helpful to upload my existing or an example of aother report like Deduction History report that has parameters list ed at the top.

Thank you!

Try creating a custom Search form by copying from a delivered form and adding it to your list.

Where do I go to create a search form? Sorry.. We're really new. I don't know how a form is different from a list.

Hi Asha,

Search your Business Class "User Interface" for a search form. Make a copy of that form, alter the form if you need to add fields to it, then use that in your report.

Your Calendar period for Employee Deductions would be DateRange.Begin and DateRange.End and the logic would be where "Your Date" within DateRange.

If you don't create a search form, then you can use inline search form logic. Both work. If you plan on reusing the search form for other reports, then a form is the way to go. If this is only for one report and the fields are unique to that report, then an inline search form is the way to go.

You can email me if that works better for you, rebecca_ward@valleymed.org.

Hi Becca,

I'm not sure what you mean by Business Class "User Interface". I went to the search for for Payroll Deductions, but I only saw in Actions where I can create or personalize.

Am I supposed to take a copy of the search form for a report? If so, How do I use it in a filter?
