This tutorial covers how to pass parameters between pages via a URL, then use those received URL parameters to filter a grid and customize reports. These features are helpful when building applications to make it easier for your users to navigate your data from a custom interface.

To accomplish this, you will:

• 1. Collect user input from an initial page
• 2. Build a parameterized URL to pass the user's input to a second page.
• 3. Use information packaged in the URL to filter a data grid.

See a completed version of what you will build in this tutorial.
