How can I require users to make filter selections in reports?


A company can require users to make a filter selection prior to running reports.  This could be useful if reports require filtered choice(s) to display properly.  This will require a selection on "all" pre-selected filters before the report data will display. 

By setting ShowDataWhenParametersBlank in the global.asax, if a pre-selected filter selection is not made, the user will see "No Results" displayed on the screen.  Once the user selects from the drop down or enters a filter value for each filter and selects "Update Results" the report data will appear in accordance with filter selections. 

Note: This will affect "all" reports with pre-selected filters as it's applied at the global level and not at the report level.  This should only be used if it's intended for all reports with filters.  This will also not affect any report that does not contain pre-selected filters.

This setting can also be set via the Settings.aspx page.
-Go to Settings.aspx, Features tab, un-check "Show Data When Parameters Blank", click "Save to Izenda.config" at top of page.
