Antony Catella : Leveraging Field Parameters for Dynamic Data Visualization
In today's data-driven landscape, the need for adaptable and versatile reporting is paramount. The challenge often lies in accommodating diverse requirements without overwhelming your report with redundant visuals.

Enter Field Parameters—a robust feature designed to add dynamic flexibility to your reports.

In this session, attendees will gain hands-on experience in implementing field parameters within a reporting framework. This will empower users to interactively explore their data in a methodical and efficient manner, thereby eliminating the need for multiple static visuals and enhancing the user experience.
Learn how to make your reports not just informative, but also intuitive and user-friendly through the incorporation of Field Parameters.
