Simple Input Controls

The 16. Interactive Sales Report example has several input controls:

  • Product Family

  • Product Department

  • Product Category

  • Product Name

  • Country

  • Gender

Using input controls, you run the report with one set of data and then another. When saved, an instance of the report with alternate input controls is called a Report Version, and is labeled as such in the repository.
