Query control configuration

Parameters

image

  • In the query control configuration section, select Remember query conditions.

    When this option is enabled, the system remembers the query conditions that a user sets after running a query. The next time the user opens the report, their previously selected values appear in the query control.

  • In the query control configuration section, you can select Show empty values, Do not show empty values, or Configure whether to show empty values in each query condition.

    • If you select Show empty values, any empty values will be displayed in the drop-down lists of all query controls.

      image

    • If you select Do not show empty values, all query controls will hide empty values from their drop-down lists.

      image

    • If you select Configure whether to show empty values in each query condition, you can individually configure the Show empty values for query condition enumerations option for each query control.

      image

      In this case, when Show empty values for query condition enumerations is selected for a specific query control, its drop-down list displays any empty values. If deselected, empty values are not displayed.

  • In the query control configuration section, you can set the Maximum number of manually entered values.

    image

    Note
    • The default value is 1,000, and the maximum value is 10,000. You can enter any integer in this range.

    • Setting an excessively high limit may cause queries to fail on some databases.
