Best Way to Hide and Disable a Chart/Table? [message #257695]

Hi,

I have a report consisting of 6 charts and 6 tables. Only one chart and
table combination is visible at a time depending on the parameters the
user selects. I am able to use the Visibility to functionality to hide
elements. But the problem is that even though the element is hidden, the
query still executes. So I'm having 12 queries execute when only 2 would
suffice.

I tried dropping the chart/table in the Visibility expression but it
still executes the query

if(params["OrderGroup"] == "ALLORDERS" && params["MeasuredBy"] =="QUANTITY")
{
false;
}
else
{
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHand le().findElement( "NewChart2").drop();
true;
}

I then tried putting the drop statement in the beforeFactory event of
the report and it worked. Is that the best place to "drop" elements/to
do what I want to do?

Thanks

beforeFactory is the best place.
