    When linking to a report, if parameters are missing the page prompting the user for the missing parameters will show the header. Subsequent pages show the header too.

    e.g. Parameters missing : Header is shown on page prompting for inStartDate and inEndDate
    select 'dbr.report', 'sp_DBR_geozoneEventDetailArriveDepart','inGeozoneID=[GeozoneID]', 'inAccountID=[AccountID]', 'inGeozoneDesc=[Description]', 'append=&hdr=0';

    e.g. Parameters NOT missing : Header is NOT shown
    select 'dbr.report', 'sp_DBR_geozoneEventDetailIgnitionOnOff','inGeozoneID=[GeozoneID]', 'inAccountID=[AccountID]', 'inGeozoneDesc=[Description]', 'inStartDate=2014-01-01', 'inEndDate=2014-12-31', 'append=&hdr=0';

    Is there a way to suppress the headers?

    Parameter page always shows the header and so will the subsequent report page so that is how it works for now.

    Is there a workaround, or can I request a feature change on this?

    The current functionality breaks the paradigm of an embedded reporting dashboard without the headers showing up...

    Thanks

    We can take a look if we can support parameters via popup when embedded. It would also be easier for the user. This way the fully separate paremeter form would we avoided and the resulting report would honour disabling headers.

    There are some improvements in the latest build how header suppression works. The hdr=0 is now carried over through the parameter view.

    In addition, if you have an embedded report without headers and you wish to link to another report which has parameters user is able to fill, you can now use special 'popup_parameter' target, where parameter query is done in a popup (no headers) but the result is shown as a normal report (normal 'popup' target will show also the result in the popup).

    So the call would look like this:

    select 'dbr.report', 'sp_DBR_linked', 'popup_parameter', '[link_target_column]', 'inID=ID', 'inText<=Text', 'append=&hdr=0';

    Wow - thanks!

    I'm running 4.2.1 (build 2377). Is this the latest build, or do I need to pull one manually to get the feature working?

    Thanks again.

    Yes,
    that is the latest build. You can always get the latest build just by running the updater.

    If there is a change in myDBR version number (indicating bigger change), you will get an update reminder.
