Monday Minutes: Adding a Dropdown Option in Reports
In this week's Monday Minutes, Jessie and Kelly show how it is now easier to add a drop-down menu in a report.
Reports
Whether you are creating a report from scratch, making an edit to an existing report, or bringing in a canned report from the wiki or Koha Mana database, you will now see a new feature that allows you to insert runtime parameter.

This will provide the user with an option to add an authorized value, date, item types, libraries, patron categories, or a text field.
- When selecting an option, you will see a single form field for the Parameter label. The label for the field is shown when the report is run, for example, Select a library.
- Enter text in the label field and click the Insert parameter button.
- This will insert the runtime parameter into the Report's SQL editor.
- If you select the Authorized value option, the modal window will include both a label field and a field for selecting an authorized value category.
- Enter text in the label field and click the Insert parameter button.
