parameter for report title

[Jeremy_TCL]

Hello,

I have a report with many pages and I need the same title on every page. To do so, I would like to use a parameter which could be defined by the user through a VBS inputbox and then reused on each page.

I tried something with scalar parameters : B1, B2, B3... (see attached file) but I don't know how to change their values. Is it possible to do it this way? Otherwise, do you have any other method?

Thank you in advance for your support

Hi Jermeny,

I'd recommend you write the user's typed Response to the Root.Description property.

Response = InputBox("Enter Text")

Data.Root.Properties.Add "Description", Response

Then in your REPORT header textbox you can use @@Data.Root.Properties("Description").Value@@

Hello Jeremy,

In addition to Brad's suggestion with the properties, have a look at the "Master Layout" function in DIAdem.

A Master layout allows you to define some standard elements (those could include logos, texts - including variables, boxes, etc.) that will appear on each page of your report in the same location and cannot be edited or moved by the person working on the layout (somewhat like a watermark)

Let us know if you have questions about this function, it's pretty neat ...

It's clear now!

Thank you very much

Hello Jeremy,

one helpful variable is also GraphSheetName.

Just add a text box with it (@@GraphSheetName@@) and the name of the current page will be shown on it.
