Button to activate the list box selections

Is there a way we can stop reports from reloading for every selection. I mean can we make all the selections first and then click a button (just a thought!) to activate the filters so that the report is filtered for those selections instead of the report running each and ever time I make a small selection.

Thanks

I tried creating a button to attach the report and calculate then detach again. Attached is the sample.

Thanks

Hi,

you can set calculation condition to the tables you need to restrict depending on the filters.

The calculation condition could be something like this:

getSelectedCount(YourField) > 0 or any other expression that helps you restricting the calculation of the table unless some criteria is fullfiled,

I mean, I have 10 list boxes. When I start making selections from them, the report is processed for every selection I make. I have large data volume and I have to wait for 6-8 sec after each selection. So, I was wondering if there is any option where I can all the selections at once then have the report processed. Thanks for your response.

Yeah, I 've been there. Sometimes, it's really annoying that QV recalculates objects after every minimal selection or even just by moving objects. The problem is that sometimes even objects/tables that are not related to your selections get recalculated.

A possible workaround that I can think of is to create a button that shows/hide your objects and this button gets activated until some/all needed selection are made,

I attached an example,
