How you define a report parameter determines what a user sees when the parameter displays in the report. For more information about defining report parameters, see How to: Define a Report Parameter.
The following table summarizes the controls used to render report parameters in a report. The Option column in this table refers to the option that was chosen for the Values property when the report parameter was defined in the model.
| Option | Data type | Control rendered to the user |
|---|---|---|
| From Dataset - or - Non-queried (with available values specified) | All data types | If the Multi Value property is set to False, a drop-down list displays. If the Multi Value property is set to True, a check list displays. A check list displays a check box on the left side of each item allowing the user to select more than one item. |
| Null - or - Non-queried (with no available values specified) | System.Boolean | A check box. |
| Null - or - Non-queried (with no available values specified) | System.DateTime | A drop-down list that displays a calendar from which users can select a date. |
| Null - or - Non-queried (with no available values specified) | All data types, except System.Boolean and System.DateTime | A text box that only permits the user to enter a value of the specified data type. |
| Parameter | All data types | References the value of another parameter. No control is displayed to the user. |
When the Nullable property for a report parameter is set to True, a check box will display next to the control for the report parameter. When this check box is selected, the control for the report parameter is disabled.
