Setting up parameters can be done in a few different ways, you can have reusable parameters, global parameters or you can add them locally in the report.

Using Subreports

1. Drag and drop the Flow component into the page.
2. Drag and drop a component (for example, Text) into the page. You can use any component you like.
3. On the right sidebar for the Text component, in the "Text" field, replace the default value with {$params.test}. Now, the value of the "test" parameter should appear on your page. If you named your parameter "description", you would access it through {$params.description}.
4. If you need more parameters, repeat the steps in the Setting Up Parameters section of this guide.
