Hi, I want to dynamically display report title based on the report
parameters, e.g. "Sale Report (Date range: 01/01/01 - 02/02/02)". The
dates come from the report parameters.

Thanks,
-ZJ

ZJ,

What type of element are you displaying the title in?

Hi Jason,

Thank you for looking at my question. It is the report title which is a
user property displayed in Properties->General tab along with Author,
Created by, Path. If I dont set it, the Birt viewer will display BIRT
Report Viewer.

I tried to set it to

Sales Report (Date Range:<VALUE-OF>params["startdate"]</VALUE-OF> -
<VALUE-OF>params["endate"]</VALUE-OF>)

However, it does not evaluate the <VALUE-OF> tag. I also tried to use
javascript setUserProperty(title, xxxxxx) in beforeFactory event.
But I got Property already exists error.

I am using Birt 2.2.2. I don't know if I can use any type of element for
it.

I will appreciate it if you have any solution.

Regards,
-ZJ

You can set the property like:
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHand le().setProperty( "title",
"My Test Title");

but at this point it is to late to modify the title because the viewer
has already started processing the report. As a work around you can add
__title=whatevertitleyoulike to the url and if the property in the
report is not set it will use the one you have specified in the url.
