Chapter 44      Working with Reports
  Using Report Templates
The following table lists the valid input parameters that can be used in different areas within the Report 
Templates page.
User-Defined Input Parameters
License: 
Any
You can create your own input parameters to supply as constraints in section searches. Constraining a 
search with an input parameter instructs the system to collect a value at generation time from the person 
who requests the report. In this way, you can dynamically tailor a report at generation time to show a 
particular subset of data without changing the template. For example, you can provide an input parameter 
for the 
Destination IP
 field of a report section’s search. Then, when you generate the report, you can type 
the IP network segment for a particular department to get data for that department only.
Tip
You can also type 
*
 in an input parameter field, with the effect of ignoring the constraint.
You can also define string-type input parameters to add dynamic text in certain fields of your report, such 
as in emails (subject or body), report file names, and text sections. You can personalize reports for 
different departments, with customized report file names, email addresses, and email messages, using 
the same template for all.
Each input parameter you define has a name and a type. The following table describes the parameter 
types.
$<Time Window>
