What best defines a dynamic parameter?

• A. A parameter that filters results using a value from a dynamic extension at run time.
• B. A parameter whose value is saved on the report record and never changes.
• C. A parameter that is fixed by the administrator.
• D. A parameter that is hard-coded in the template.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how a parameter gets its value at runtime from a dynamic source. A dynamic parameter uses a value provided or computed during the report execution, often via a dynamic extension, to filter or tailor results. The best choice shows a parameter that filters results using a value from a dynamic extension at run time. This illustrates runtime evaluation: the parameter isn’t fixed in the report, template, or administrator settings, and it can adapt based on the current context or external data. In contrast, the other descriptions describe static behaviors: a value saved with the report and never changing, a value fixed by an administrator, or a value hard-coded in the template. All of those are not dynamic because they don’t change or evaluate during execution.
