Use ID Options with Variables and Identifiers

Use ID options with individual variables to limit the range of the variable to a particular resource or group of resources. You can use ID options with variables in any type of report. Specify one or more identifiers when you use ID options with variables.

To use an ID option with a variable, specify the ID option and its identifiers immediately following the variable you want to restrict.

Syntax of ID options used with variables:

idoption (identifier[,identifier...])
idoption

Includes one of the ID options. The ID option you specify determines the type of resource the report is to be about. The ID options that can be used with a given variable depend upon the class and record type. The ID options that are valid for each class and record type are given in the chapter “Variables.”

identifier
