property-ref

Definition

Exposes values and properties that are available in the reporting object. These could have been created by the reporting engine (for example, report.name or report.date), or are placed in the reporting environment by a program or the Pentaho BI platform.

Accepts either "text" or "serialized-base64" encoding.

For example, these are variables that could be passed from a Pentaho action.

Examples

<property-ref name="report.date" />

<property-ref name="productname"/> <!--variable passed from Pentaho *.xaction-->
<property-ref name="username"/>    <!--variable passed from Pentaho *.xaction-->
