When you run a report in EnergySteward.com, the report may have parameters which you can set, in order to filter the information that the report should show.  These report parameters all have basic types (string or character, number, date, etc.).  This screen shows the list of all underlying parameter data types which are used by the system when using report parameters. Important note: These values should normally never be modified as they are used by the background report program services.

 

The screen shot below shows the initial screen which lists out your available report parameter types:

View/Edit Grid Button (pencil) - Click this next to the applicable report parameter type in order to change the information about this type.
