1.3. Label and Form Parameters
When a user runs generates a form or a label from an option on menu, the xTuple client passes parameter values to the selected form's definition (more on this shortly) based on the user's entries. These parameter values can be used by the report's SQL to retrieve information from the database.
The tables below identify fields on the sessions that are available on the menu. The parameters column provides the name of the parameter that corresponds to the field if it is in fact a parameter (not all are). Also provided, in the Table Reference column is the name of a table that the author of the report may choose to query to locate information in the database based on the parameter value provided by the user.
It is important to note that some fields are not parameters and some parameters do not correspond to tables. For example the parameters labelTo and labelFrom pass parameter values that can be used in the report definition to control the number of labels that print. These parameters do not correspond to a table.
