To map parameters, select the cell or cell range you'd like to map, then go to the ReportWorX64 menu and choose Add > Parameter Source from the Edit Data Source section.

 

Users can add brand new data sources or make edits to existing data sources using the Configure Data Sources button in the ReportWorX64 menu. This button will open a slimmed-down version of Workbench.

Turn Cell Into Parameter

A new handy feature is the ability to turn an existing populated cell into a parameter. For example, if cell A1 contains an asset name and you would like to make that name into a parameter, select cell A1, go to the ReportWorX64 menu, and choose Turn Cell Into Parameter in the Edit Parameters section. The cell will appear as a mapped cell, mapped to a new parameter. Select ReportWorX64 > Parameters to edit properties of this new parameter, such as its data type and display name.
