Hi,
I can't find a simple way of placing report variables into a report, like https://www.koolreport.com/examples/reports/cube/sales_by_quarters/index.php which allows you to select the year.
Is this something in koolreports, or do we hand craft this part?
Many thanks
Nick
Hi Nick,
Could you please check this wiki How to insert parameters to KoolReport?
Please let us know if the wiki has not been clear to you so I can explain further.

In general, a report is just an object which is able to receive parameters/inputs at its creation. Those parameters will be available in setup() method so that we can pull data, process them or display them accordingly.
Could you please post me some code here so I may know what went wrong.
Can you show me how I should set up a report that uses the KoolSuitePHP combo box? I have a database list I need to be variables (choice of customers). Not sure if <input> can be a session_variable, also not sure how it should look aesthetically, to the left or on top. All the examples show they are manually created variables.
You just make a <form>, put a <select> with options created by the the list you get from database. In the params of KoolReport, catch the $_POST value and insert into it. To make things easier, we are making a small package called inputs which will facilitate this processes. If you can wait abit then I will create examples for you.
Do you have a timeline for this? I think the input package will work best for me. Curious how the package will look, I am very excited for these reports, and this inputs are key for me. Will it include a SORTABLE FIELD option? for example I have Customer, Client, items, I would love to give people the option to decide what they want to show and in what order! Thanks
Just my two cents!
so our out-dated system that we currently run reports out of (that hopefully we can replace by KoolReport) has a screen like this. I can't see that working well with the look we are going for on KoolReport, I kinda picture more like a "create what a pivot report will look like", for implementing it could be more like Order1 [dropdown choice] Order2 [dropdown choice] order3 [dropdown choice] and this would be the order of the Pivot dimensions "row".
I am so curious how you are going to make the inputs looks - popup, opening screen, no the same report screen?
Hi Hallie,
Thank you for your comments with image. That helps me understand better. The inputs package will contain set of input controls such as text-input, checkbox, radios, dropdownlis so that you can put them into your report. Those inputs are bound to params of report.
