Scheduling parameterized reports in Crystal Reports Server

I'm trying to set up a report to run monthly in Crystal Reports Server 2008 that will give me the next month's Affordable Care Plan termination dates. However, as far as I can tell, I can only give it a particular date string, not "7 days after the report is scheduled". How do I do this? (Same question for CR2008, actually, but the server is the one I'm interested in right now.)

Thanks!

Solution

  • Turns out that the answer to this involves CR2008's new feature, optional parameters. If the HasValue({?MyParameter}) function returns false, you can use the default: otherwise, use the value of MyParameter.
