How do I go about setting a parameter as read only. I have a FACULTY parameter that I want to set a default value and make it as read only so that when the clients run their reports they cannot change this parm. Want to do this so I can have one report with different faculties running the selection criteria but do not want them to be able to set the faculty to another value that is not their faculty. Want to have the parm but want to have the parm as read only so I have cost center security. How do I go about doing this. I came across this in Crystal 2008. Does anyone know how to set it up to make it work?
Show on (Viewer) Panel
Choose whether the parameter will display on the parameter panel and whether it will be editable or read-only.
Do not show: The parameter is not visible on the panel. Users must refresh the report to change the parameter's values.
Editable: Users can view and change the parameter's values on the panel.
Read only: Users can view the parameter's values on the panel, but cannot change them.
By default, the program sets this field to Editable.
