Display the search criteria values on the results report header.

[epetrarca]

I have a new question, I am creating a tabular Search and Report datapage that will simply allow the user to enter a few search criteria values and then submit the search and display the report results, nothing special.

However when the Results Report is displayed, the user can no longer tell what their Search Criteria was on the first screen.

 

Question: Is it possible to somehow display the Search Criteria the user selected on the first page to the Header of the Results Report page?  I have tried to make each search value pass an external parameter upon exit and then adding each to the Header Section using the (Insert Parameters) function but it does not allow you to select External Parameters.

Is there a simply way to do this?

Hi @epetrarca,

 

You can check this artcle: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/tech-parameters/add-a-search-interface-to-results-sets-page/.

Thanks for the information. I had read a similar article that explained almost the same thing.

However, I was trying to do it with just one Datapage using the Search / Results / Detail Form method.

Hi @epetrarca,

 

Just to give an update, last October 16, 2018, Caspio updated to version 15.0. One of the new features includes Search Form and Results on the same page. You may check this link for the other features: https://howto.caspio.com/release-notes/caspio-bridge-15-0/
