Tutorial recorded to demonstrate Report Parameter enhancements

This tutorial is part of the BIRT 2.2.1 tutorial series that demonstrates via a recording, the enhancements made to Report Parameters in BIRT. These enhancements include -

• Expression Builder in dynamic report parameter provides user friendly display values
• “Allow multiple values” lets user select > 1 value from list of parameter values
  • Dataset filter now allows “IN” operator to make use of multi select report parameter
• Select a default value for a dynamic report parameter simplifies report parameters
• "Is Required" replaces "Allow null" & "Allow blank" simplifying report parameters.
  • If blank => nulls allowed for Report Parameters, blanks for Text Report Parameters

The final report design from the tutorial is available at

Your tutorial on selecting multiple parameter values is very helpful. Can you now tell me how to select all parameter values without having to create a separate static list? Better yet, can you show me the code and structure behind the parameter selection interface?

Thanks.

I'm running BIRT 2.2.1. But I don't see the Allow Multiple Values checkbox on the Edit Parameter dialog. Any idea?

Instead of using List box, is it possible for text box too? For example : data1, data2, data3
