7.
Select Editable from the Show on (Viewer) Panel list.
This example will enable the user to edit the parameter value on the Parameter Panel. If you want
to show the parameter on the panel, but do not want to allow the user to edit it, select Read only
for this option.
8.
Click OK.
9.
Return to the Field Explorer dialog box, and drag the parameter onto your report.
The Enter prompt values dialog box appears.
Note:
If you don't want to see the parameter field you dropped in your report, place it in a section you can
suppress, such as a report header or footer.
Tip:
You don't need to drag the parameter onto the report if you plan on referencing it in a conditional
formatting formula or a selection formula. If you have set the parameter options to Editable or Read
only on the Parameter Panel, using the parameter in a formula will automatically activate it on the
panel.
The parameter now appears on the Parameter Panel.

21.12.11 Adding dynamic grouping using parameter fields
You can design your report so that users can change the grouping presentation of the report without
refreshing information from the database. For instance, users can move from a customer-focused view
of the report to either a region-focused or an order-focused view. Dynamic grouping combines the use
of group selection formulas and the Parameter Panel.
