AL Extension Report RequestPage fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 809
I've added a requestpage section to my report module in my AL extension (see below) containing a Boolean field. It is displaying OK to the user as a slider control that they can switch on or off. My question is: How can I see this user selection value inside the .rdl report in MS Report Builder.
    requestpage
    {
        layout
        {
            area(Content)
            {
                group(Options)
                {
                    Caption = 'Options';
                    field("Show Detail"; gblnShowDetail)
                    {
                        ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;
                        Caption = 'Show Detail';
                        ToolTip = 'Show Detail';

                    }
                }
            }
        }
   var
        gblnShowDetail: Boolean;

    Hi, Inge is right.

    Here is a simple example of a standard report. (Boolean fields are similar to Label.)

    Hi,

    Create One variable and put Assign UserId on the Validate trigger of gblnShowDetail. In this you will achieve the requirement.

    You will have to add glblnShowDetail as a column on your report in order to achieve that.

    Report builder can only see data in your report data set. It can not access global variables.
