2. In the List of Values area, click Dynamic.
3. Click Existing and choose a repository list of values from the tree view
that appears.

If the list is empty (you cannot connect to a repository, or your report does
not contain an existing list of values), this option is not available.
Modifying objects in the repository
You can modify repository objects by disconnecting them, changing them in
a report, and adding them back to the repository. As well, you can rename
objects and move them to different folders directly in the repository.
Be aware that when you modify an object and add it back to the repository,
your changes affect all those who use that same repository: a renamed object
is renamed for all users, and reports that contain the modified object may
be updated upon opening them in the Report Designer.
