Common use case of Report DataSet Definition
A common use case of Report DataSet Definition consists in defining the source collection as input parameter for the Report DataSet.
To create a common Report DataSet Definition:
1. Define the source MetaClass.
*See "Creating a Report DataSet Definition".
2. Define the filtering parameter: collection parameter.
The collection parameter is pre-set or already set.
E.g.: if the source MetaClass is Diagram, the "Diagram List" Collection Parameter is automatically added with the "Diagram" Collection Type value. This Collection parameter is used to list all the diagrams of the repository.
*See "Adding Collection parameters".
3. Define how to retrieve the repository data.
In the Populating Collection Parameter field, select the collection parameter defined step 2.
*See "Defining how to populate the Report DataSet".
4. Define the data you want to display in the Report DataSet.
*See "Defining the data that feeds the Report DataSet".
