**How to Capture Input Control Value in WebI?**<\/p>\n

In Web Intelligence (WebI), input controls play a crucial role in providing an interactive and dynamic user experience. Input controls allow users to filter, manipulate, and analyze data according to their specific requirements. But how can we capture the selected value from an input control? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n

**Step 1: Creating an Input Control**
\nBefore we can capture the value of an input control, we need to create one. In WebI, you can create input controls by selecting the required dimension or measure, right-clicking on it, and choosing “Create Input Control.” This will open a dialog box where you can define the properties and behavior of the input control.<\/p>\n

**Step 2: Adding the Input Control to the Report**
\nOnce you have created the input control, you need to add it to the report. To do this, select the input control from the “Input Controls” panel and drag it to the desired location in the report. You can place the input control in the report header, footer, or alongside other report elements.<\/p>\n

**Step 3: Capturing the Input Control Value**
\nTo capture the value selected in the input control, you can use the “Variable Input” feature in WebI. Variable Input allows you to assign the selected input control value to a variable, which can then be used in formulas and calculations.<\/p>\n

To capture the input control value, follow these steps:
\n1. Right-click on the report tab (or blank space) and select “New Variable.”
\n2. In the “Variable Editor” dialog box, provide a name and description for the variable.
\n3. In the “Formula” section, enter the following formula:
\n= [Input Control Name]
\nReplace [Input Control Name] with the actual name of your input control.
\n4. Click “OK” to save the variable.<\/p>\n

The variable will now capture the selected value from the input control.<\/p>\n
