Sounds like a really good idea! I think it might be worth having both, options in the menu and drag & drop, because the latter is probably not accessible.

Nice! ;) (Like I've never done that before. :) ) Another option is to place fields in the "Show SQL code" section where each parameter is, with the values that were used. Place a Re-run button under the code, and if needed, you can change a value in this code, and rerun the report. I think the sidebar is the right place for this. It's basically the same as the various kinds of "filter" forms we show in the sidebar. |
Created attachment 51217 [details] Placement of report parameters on report results. Let's say you have a report that asks you for parameters. You run the report, get the results, and then you want to run the report again with different parameters. Or maybe you made a mistake and need to change it. Yes, you could back up and change things and run it again. But what if the parameters were showing over on the left of the report under the "Useful resources" section? You could see what you set, and change whatever you needed and then click update. Perhaps the row setting and update button could also be on the left of the report. Just a thought. I was able to change a parameter up in the URL, and hit update, and it worked. It was nice because I set the report to show more than 20 records, and I didn't have to repeat that step after updating.
