Customizing Preferences for Design Tasks

You can customize preferences for Report Template Design. Since there are a lot of types in database and you can only create parameters based on visible input types, you can filter the default list to only keep interesting types.

Note: This preference is not displayed, if you are an Administrator.

    Visible input types

    To define the input types that are available in the input parameter type list for the current user:

    • Select input types in Available types and insert them in Selected types.
    • Remove unnecessary types from Selected types.
    Tips:
    • To narrow down the search elements in the lists, enter a Perl Regular Expression in the Filter box.
    • To recover the default input types, remove all types from the Selected Types box and click Done.

    By default, the types selected in the Selected types of the Input Types Filter tab are those available in the Default input types option of the Properties tab.
