Parameters Picker Contents

[tbarjonas]

I've been following along with introductory tutorials, but I've hit a snag with the "Advanced Training with Caspio - Database Relationships and Passing Parameters" training video from 2017.  In the video when the "Parameters Picker" is selected, it shows options from "Data Source Fields" and "Authentication Fields."  However, when  replicate the process on my account, I only see the options from the "Authentication Fields."  What do I need to do to enable the other options to the dropdown list on the Parameters Picker?

Hi @tbarjonas,

What datapage type do you use?  Could you provide the screenshot of the page  with the fields from the dropdown after clicking on the parameter picker?

[tbarjonas]

Alison, thank you for the response.  I'm using a report datapage type.  I have attached a screenshot of the dropdown options on the parameter picker.

Hi @tbarjonas,

Thank you for the screenshot. I can see that you are trying to add the field paramater to the Search for. It is not available there. You can add a datasource parameters to the Results page (you should follow the "Search and Report Wizard - Configure Results Page Fields" wizard screen).

Thanks, that was the problem. 

That's embarrassing.  I figured it was something simple.  Oh well, I always learn most through the mistakes.  Now, I know to look for the descriptor after the "Search and Report Wizard."

I'm sorry to bother you.

Not a problem at all, @tbarjonas. I was glad to help you.
