This is a quick tutorial on using an HTML form to pass parameters to the JasperReports Userview Menu, to demonstrate how to filter the results of a report based on input values.

First, add a JasperReports menu into your Userview Builder and configure it as usual.

Then, write in the code as seen in the "UI > Custom Header" option, as shown in the screenshot below. The code specified here will create a HTML form to allow filter values to be submitted.
