Parameters in Workday Adaptive Planning offer a simple yet powerful way to make your Web Reports more dynamic. Instead of creating multiple versions of the same report or constantly adjusting filters, parameters let you easily change levels, time periods, versions, dimensions, or attributes on the fly — all from a single interface.
1. For Web Reporting in Adaptive Planning, you can use parameters to be able to select specific levels, time, versions, dimensions, or attributes to view the data at.
2. To add these on a report you first click “Edit” to go to the back end of the report:
3. Once here, anything which is currently on the report as a “Filter”, “Row”, or “Column” can be pulled on as a “Parameter”. Shown below are those elements which were dragged and dropped from the section they already exist at on the report into the “Parameter Section”. The outlet icon shows how it is connected as well as the highlights.
4. After the parameters are created, you can right click on them and click “Properties” to select what choices you want, if you want multi-select, and if you want a prompt window to open to select the choice before the report loads. After making the choices make sure to click “Apply”. Save the report and now you have parameters created.
