iReport to Jasper Reports

[swelch]

I am new to these programs and am having a hard time getting things to work but I am getting there slowly. My first question is this:

iReports is the GUI designer for Jasper Reports. Why can I create a parameter that prompts for user for an input (a report number) that works in iReports but when uploaded to Jasper Reports it doesn't? If I provide a default value it is that value that Jasper Reports uses and doesn't prompt for user input.

The actual report query is simple:SELECT
     COMP_CTICK."ID" AS COMP_CTICK_ID,
     COMP_CTICK."MODEL" AS COMP_CTICK_MODEL,
     COMP_CTICK."MODEL_DES" AS COMP_CTICK_MODEL_DES,
     COMP_CTICK."CTICK_COMPLETE" AS COMP_CTICK_CTICK_COMPLETE
FROM
     "TSAPEX"."COMP_CTICK" COMP_CTICK

WHERE ID = $P{Filter}

Kind Regards,

First you need to add input controls to the report
and second you need to set the reports' property "Always prompt" for the input controls.
