1. In Crystal Reports, create a report off any data source.
2. Create a new parameter.
3. Refresh the report.
     
   When refreshing the report, it does not prompt for the new parameter created. How to be prompted by the parameter?

• The parameter was not used on the report, and this is why it does not prompt when the report is refreshed. 

• To be prompted by a parameter created in Crystal Reports, or in Crystal Reports for Enterprise, add the parameter to the report.
             
• You can add the parameter on the report:
             
• To filter the data based on the parameter value, by adding the parameter to the Record Selection Formula.
    
• To display the parameter value on the report, by adding the parameter to one of the section of the report, like the Report Header.
     
• To conditionnaly suppress sections, by creating a conditionnal suppression formula using the parameter to suppress the section based on the parameter value selected.
