User parameters and links -Oracle Portal:discoverer

Hello,
I need help in implementing the following requirement.

When the user login the oracle portal, S/He has to select three parameters depending on the report. There are many workbooks, but all workbooks require the same type of parameters (1. Quarter: Q1_09; Business Type: Term; Location ID: XYZ-ABC)

I have to provide the user with the list of the last parameter and additional columns (e.g. city and state) as a link on the same page. This list should be sortable by state. I will be preferable if it is a link on that page that the user can open and close to help select the correct Location ID.

I am fairly new to portal development. Details will be great!

Thank you

Dina

Oracle comes with a portal building framework that should support your needs. They even have a great resource for helping you get started.

Frinny,
The link you provided did not help in answering my question.
Thanks,

Your question is extremely vague, so I gave you a general answer that should have pointed you in the right direction.

It would have helped if you had provided details about what you were using to develop your application (language, frameworks etc) and what you have tried so far.

I cannot provide any more help if you do not provide more details.

Details:
I have student records containing grades information by semester for 3 campuses.
Some of the fields include:
Term (e.g. Spring 09)
Major
First Name
Last Name
Class taken
grade
Address
city
state
Campus
and more.

I am using Discoverer plus to run reports in Oracle 10g. The report requires 3 parameters (Term, major, class taken). Is it possible to provide the user with a link containing records based on the first 2 parameters prior to running the whole report? The link will allow the user to see classes taken during the term and major selected with the corresponding city and state.

After entering Spring09 as term and Computer Science as major for example, I can click on a link and see a partial report on classes taken by city and state.

How do I implement this?

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thank you

Dina
