Hello,
First time setting up a bespoke report label in Kinetic, which I’ve configured to use a BAQ as the dataset.
This has now been added to the menu and printing. But I would now like to add a parameter so that the Job Number appears here somewhere:
Please could someone help me on how I would get this added, I tried just adding a parameter to the BAQ on job number, but run into ‘parameters not defined’ errors when printing.
Thank you so much! 
Hi Mic,
You shouldn’t need a parameter on your BAQ.
I have always done what you’re asking about by adding a Report Filter, in BAQ Report Designer.
In BAQ Report Designer, you add the Filters you need, and then you can “Preview Application” in the overflow menu to see them appear on the form:
Since you already have this applied to a menu, you may have to play around with the next steps. But you’ll probably have to go into the overflow menu in the Application Preview and go into Application Studio from there… create a layer. In there you can set the Filter panel card to expand at runtime.
Save this layer… and then add it to your Menu in Menu Maintenance.
If you use a BAQ parameter, then in your RDD you need to:
It’s not as bad as it sounds, it pretty much pulls the existing BAQ parameter info over to the RDD, so you are mostly just confirming it.
Then, in your RDL, select the Criteria Set name you created, in the Criteria dropdown of the report style.
Synchronize with RDD.
Re-Generate Kinetic Form, and now the BAQ parameter(s) will be on the report dialogue form.
Hi both, thank you so much for your help on this!! I’m testing out both options from scratch.
I’ve set up the report in BAQ Report designer, added a filter that looks at JobNum.
This works perfectly and allows me to select the job numver I’m testing with
But when I select ‘Print Preview’ it prints the standard blank .rdl, not the one that I’ve customised.
How do I get this to link back to the report style I created?
Thank you so much!
Can you see your custom report style in the drop down?
You SHOULD be able to control which is the default in Report Style Maintenance.
I’ve set it as a default in Report style, but it seems the BAQ Report Designer is still not linked to it.
I’m unable to see it in the drop-down either
I’m generating preview in the BAQ report designer
Apologies, please ignore me! I didn’t realise doing this way creates a new report style and I’m still editing the old one I created! Thanks David
