Assume that you set a random variable of your report query for instance the screenshot below, what is the usage of this variable? I cant see any differences between just appliying a filter to your query and setting a variable like i did in the screenshot. Does anyone can explain the work mechanism behind this?

The second question is that;

In scenario i have set ;

variable1=USER_A

then click ok and saved it. I am wondering if i could run the report for another user by adding the necessary filter into URL like below.

https://10.210.122.209/aveksa/main?Oid=147&ReqType=Dialog&PageID=ViewReportDialogData_save&Action=New&ObjectClass=com.aveksa.gui.objects.report.GuiReport&variable1=USER_B

h ttps://10.210.122.209/aveksa/main?Oid=147&ReqType=Dialog&PageID=ViewReportDialogData_save&Action=New&ObjectClass=com.aveksa.gui.objects.report.GuiReport&variable1=USER_B

No one else has this question

Hi Boris,

The referenced post only explains targetObjectID parameter while our question is mainly about adding a custom parameter area as shown in the image above. Any comments on this?

In short, it looks like the answer is yes (for reports), but that isn't quite what they're meant for. In Help > Reporting > Configuring Run-Time Parameters for Reports and Charts Used in Dashboards > Working with Query-Specific Parameters (at least in 7.0.0 and 7.0.1), the documentation describes using so-called "query-specific parameters" in dashboards so that, for example, you could create a dashboard for users from an HR department and another dashboard for users from the IT department and have both dashboards use the same report object but with a different department parameter that you would set up as part of the dashboard.

I didn't copy-paste the RSA docs here since I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that
