How do I limit the Select Expert drop downdown to only a few records which I want in there?
In the image, the dropdown which I am referring to is the one with "01-NON-Exempt" in it. This dropdown pulls all records from the hrtables.fdesc field. I want to limit the records to only a select few which will populate this dropdown.
The dialog you're trying to use (Select Expert) is a design-time feature, and it will show all the records in the dropdown. The only way to change/restrict what it shows is to change/restrict what the database returns.
What you are probably looking for is a way to offer a similar dropdown to users at report run-time. That's what parameters are for. You can provide a parameter with a list of values (which can be a subset of field values), and when a user refreshes the report, they will be prompted to choose a value from the list.
For some more details, I did a quick search and found this article (pages 3-4) seems to be a decent explanation of how to create a parameter and use it in the record select expert.

How can I create a list of values (LOV) where the user can select as many options as they want (like a series of checkboxes and select all that apply)? I am only away of being able to select one option as opposed to selecting many, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
"The property you will attach the LOV to will need to be an array. Then in TC you can multi-select more than one value of the LOV."

I need to change two columns in a Sales Order's item line section (bottom of the page) in NetSuite: https://i.ibb.co/27vx9Dr/2019-06-20-10-41-13-Window.png
It feels like the solution ties these two together as they are both perceived as item line fields or "Sublist Fields" (according to NetSuite's customization form page).
INVENTORY DETAIL needs to be enabled or set to "normal" so I can be able to specify bins associated from my selected item or be able to interact and fill in this column at the basic level.
AMOUNT needs to be set as "inline-text" so that other people handling sales orders cannot disturb it at all and still be able to see the value of this particular column.
I have attempted to search through Customization > Lists, Records & Fields and searched the following options: (which I thought were relevant to the fields that I wanted to modify)
Item Fields to no success
Transaction Body Fields to no success
Transaction Line Fields found out that AMOUNT and INVENTORY DETAIL are both padlocked
I also attempted to search through Customization > Forms and I have spent a long time looking through my Sales Order custom transaction form (possibly missing out on menus unintentionally) to no success.
I know that inside Customization > Forms > Entry Forms there is an Inventory Detail form in there that shows exactly the window I'm expecting, but I haven't figured out how to customise anything in the columns item line for transaction forms yet so I can create a custom column containing a link to INVENTORY DETAIL simulating the typical behavior of the original one while hiding the disabled one.
Near the top of a Sales Order form, I went to Customise > Customise Form and found out that I can find both AMOUNT and INVENTORY DETAIL inside the Sublist Fields tab.
Unfortunately, it only has SHOW toggles and this does not do what I need for it to do.
It is clear that I am confusing Sublist Fields with Screen Fields where I expected there would typically be a DISPLAY TYPE column that bears the drop-down selections containing "Normal", "Inline-Text" and "Disabled" options.
In actuality, they have SHOW checkbox toggles for both INVENTORY DETAIL and AMOUNT where the AMOUNT checkbox is greyed out. (This still does not achieve or reflect what I need it to do)
I am unaware of the conditions that needs to be met for AMOUNT to behave as an inline-text. There is probably another condition that needs to be met for the INVENTORY DETAIL column to be made available somehow.
I admit that I missed something crucial, so please kindly mention about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to create a new column by creating a Transaction Line Field that contains two separate fields which are applied to Sales Orders.
For the INVENTORY DETAIL, I went to Customization > Entry Forms and copied the link for "Standard Inventory Detail Form" and then produced my own HTML code inside the Default Value when creating a new Transaction Line Field.
For AMOUNT, I created a new transaction line field and then set the Default Value as the appropriate value found in https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/srbrowser/Browser2018_1/schema/record/billingaccount.html and I used the curly bracket notation {} to fetch the data for the edittable AMOUNT but changed the Access to View-only, which makes this exactly what I needed.
After previewing the changes into an existing Sales Order, I can see my results reflected as expected. Consider this question solved.
In ireport when clicking on preview, and you have parameters, you'll get a parameter box where you put a certain value to get specific record(s).Now i am trying to put specific values in the parameter box, so that the user would choose between it.
The same goal as in this so question : Loading promt box with parameters in iReport
However i want to do it without using Jasper Server. Is it possible to achieve this only from within IReport Designer?
You can do this,right click on the input control and select to add the local input control and provide id and name for the input control
Under the input control details select single select list of values if you have the list of values with you or if you want to add the data of a column as drill down select single select select query and extract that field.
This will help you to drill down the data.
Thanks and Regards

I'm pretty sure you can not do this in iReport preview. Have no clue what #Megha is refereeing to....
You can provide default value for your parameter through the <defaultValueExpression> tag and decide if you wan't it to prompt or not to prompt with the isForPrompting attribute.
Why can't we have select list, well I guess iReport is a tool for developers, so the preview is only to test the report. For customers jasper soft have developed the jasper report server.
And remember you can always develop your own interface (in swing or on the web)
I am trying to display a list of open indents with check boxes before them each line. Based on the selection a report will be generated next with further details.
Table: xxind_mstr (xxind_nbr, xxind_shipto, xxind_askedby, xxind_date).
Is there any way that I can bring the records from xxind_mstr and place them in the FORM with check boxes ?
Note: This only works if dynamic. Never hardcode this approach.
Name each check box with the value of ROWID(xxind_mstr).
This way on the post you can read back through the each xxind_mstr getting the value of the the rowid.

I'd like some more info, just to know if I'm not talking rubbish here. You want to display the records in xxind_mstr as checkboxes, then upon selection of the report setup, fire the report respecting the checkboxes flagged? If so, then I'd use a browse pre-built with a temp-table containing the xxind_mstr records, and a "flagged" field, this being a logical view-as checkbox, and when they run the report, do a
FOR EACH ttxxind_mstr WHERE flagged = true, and you should have what you want.
I'm new to SSRS. These may be very trivial questions.
I've a SSRS report, which shows employees in row by row format. Is there any way that I can double click on a row and get the corresponding employeeID of the row. And another question is can I have check boxes in each of the rows so that I can do something based on the rows that was checked? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
To your first question regarding dynamically hiding and showing the employeeid, you would want to use the Visibility property on the employeeid column,row or textbox and set visibility to "HIDE" and check "Display can be toggled by this report item" This will allow you to interactive show/hide the data.
Toggled Item Example
Another quick and easy option would be to set the tooltip property of one of the employee textboxes to
=Fields!EmployeeID.Value
This would give you the employeeid without clicking anything, just hovering over the field.
For your second question about checkboxes, the easy answer is no, it's not built-in to do that. But I have seen interactive "game" reports that run stored procedures to update data as you click on textboxes (which you could make to appear as checkboxes) and drill-through to itself to show refreshed data, but it's more of a hack than actual functionality. Here's a link to one of the examples I've seen.
