Hiding a list or crosstab by using a render variable

 


Instead of using a Boolean variable to handle the Render,  use a String
Variable.
1) On the main menubar, select the "View" menu and select "variables"
2) Create a new String Variable by dragging a String Variable from the Insertable Object pane to the Variables box.
2a)Set the variable syntax to:
ParamValue('DisplayPrompt')
ParamValue('DisplayPrompt')
2b) click OK
2c) Rename the Variable name in the Properties - Variable pane to a friendly name (suchas Page Render)
3) In the Values window do the following for each value you have in your prompt ('List','Crosstab','Both')
3a) Click the new button at the bottom
3b) Type in the value you are using
'List'
3c) click okay
NOTE: The values here must match your USE Values of your prompt.
4) Assign the Render variable on the object you want to display to this variable. Check the box for each item you want it to render for.
