   The wizard opens.

2. Select all the parameters needed for use in the Parameterized Report.

   

3. Click Save.

   The Add to Reports Folder dialog box opens.

Note: Each report will be specific to the values entered for each of the parameters in the parameterized report.

The following XML code was created by selecting the parameters shown in step 2 above. Specific values for each of the three parameters (Metric_Type, Customer, Service_Domain) must be inserted in order to run the code.

<REPORT_PARAMETERS xmlns="">
