Bounding Box

The BoundingBox type allows user to enter the SW and NE spatial reference or to draw a box on the map and use that. Co-ordinates may be entered as grid references or Lat/Long, but the system works in Lat/Long. This means that records close to the boundary of the box may not be selected correctly.

Operator

Operator is limited to equal and not equal.

Using the entrycount attribute

If 1 (the default)  then only a single instance of the parameter entry control is available. If  greater than 1 the control is repeated the number of times specified. The user has to make an entry in all of them for the report to run. If  it is -1 then the user can add as few  as( minimum 1) or as many entries as they wish. If the value is not equal to 1 then the only valid operator is "equal"  .
