I need to create a report that displays data based on the userid. all the
records have a userid field filled with many userid values. how can I use the
global paramerer userid in the criteria for my dataset. so when a user run
the report olny records with his or her userid are showncreate a parameter with default value the global parameter. then use that
parameter in the query. ofcourse you can't use caching for those reports

parameters. Doing it the way suggested here means you have to muck around
with hiding it (since you don't want people to change it).
Have your query parameter, let's call it @.UserID. RS will automatically
recreate a report parameter called UserID but we won't use it. Click on the
..., go to parameters. Map the query parameter @.UserID to the global . The
parameter dialog box has a name and value columns. On the value side switch
it to expression. This brings you to the expression builder where you can
pick the User!UserID global variable. One thing to note, this variable has
the domain as well as the user id, so if you don't want this you will have
to strip it off.
Now, go you your layout, Report->Parameters and delete the now unneeded
UserID report parameter.
