A feature of selection criteria is the picklist. Picklists can be defined on selection criteria prompts and provide the person running the report with a list of valid items from the database. For example, if you were going to prompt the user for a PE ID, but you know your users are more familiar with the employee's name (PENAME), you can use a picklist to display the PENAME option.
To add a picklist to a report region, in the Report Item window:
-
Select Prompt from the list of Response Types.
-
Click Next to open the second Report Item window.
-
In the Picklist section, select the Add Picklist Definition button.
-
Select an information category. Click Next.
-
Select a Key and Description. Click Next.
-
Finally, selection criteria, if any, are assigned.
-
Click Finish.
