The Report Designer allows the usage of variables for a higher flexibility in using this module. Report variables can be used in the database root value of the report (e.g. providing the IMO number of a vessel for accessing the related database) and in the SQL query.

 

Each variable defined in a report can have a default value. This value will be used if the calling application doesn't provide a value for this variable. It's also a good practice to enter a value that will provide suitable data for the preview function of the layout editor.
