VetView Local Reports Parameters

These parameters may not necessarily correspond to Java Beans. A full list of available Java data bean types is available under our Labs Admin page: JavaBean Data Types for Jasper Reports

For Local Reports, you can set the Parameters that will be prompted for under the Local Reports screen when the report is selected by defining them in report setup.

The Type is the type of parameter that the report will feed from VetView to Jasper. All dates must be of the type Java.util..date.
The Label is how it will appear loaded into VetView.
The Name is the link between the Jasper report and the VetView database. The name should match what was set in iReport or Jasper Studio when you defined the parameter.
The Default Value may be useful for certain reports that usually have one primary variable, but may need another on occasion,

These parameters will automatically be passed through to the report in the code of VetView. If the parameter is valid for the query used in the report, then the results on the report will display the data that matches the parameter.
