Background
The Windchill Business Reporting (WBR) solution supports reports with parameters. Both Windchill and Cognos viewers provide a basic input page that is presented to users to gather parameter values when the report is executed. Often times this input page requires customization for a better end user experience. There are two basic approaches for customizing input pages, use a standard Windchill Java Server Page (JSP) or use Cognos report functionality. The Windchill JSP approach can be used from the Windchill or Cognos viewers. The Cognos approach can only be used with the Cognos viewer.
