Editing the display sequence of parameters

If several parameters have been used in a report, when you run the report, the parameter tabs in the Enter Parameter Values dialog will be displayed in a random sequence. However, sometimes you may want to have the parameters displayed orderly. JReport provides a sorting parameter function which enables you to edit the parameter sequence. To use this feature, follow the steps below:

1. Open a report set which contains several parameters.
2. Click Edit > Parameter Order to open the Parameter Order dialog. See the dialog.

   

3. All the parameters used in the report are displayed in the dialog. Select a parameter, and then click Move up and Move down to adjust the sequence.
4. Click OK to close the dialog.
5. Run the report. You will now find that the parameters are displayed in the sequence that you specified.
