Crystal Reports: Define preset parameters based on report user


Different users of the same report look at different parameters. For example, user 1 will look at billings A, B, and C. User 2 might look at A, C, D, E, F, G, and so on.

Is there a way in crystal reports for the user to enter their name, for example, and get their parameters preset?

Thank you.


Solution

  • No such option in Crystal but there's at least one 3rd-party viewer that supports this type of functionality by allowing users to save and reuse named parameter sets. See list of 3rd-party viewers here.

    Alternatively, you could create just a single parameter that asks for name and then use record selection logic that branches according to that choice.
