+## Description
+
+While using the [Standalone Report Designer]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-designer-tools/desktop-designers/standalone-report-designer/overview%}), I encountered an error during the preview: "The expression contains object 'InspectionId' that is not defined in the current context." 
+
+![Object Not Defined ](images/report-parameter-not-defined-error.png)   
+
+I have configured a parameter, and my select statement includes this parameter. Although executing the query with a design time value returns one record from the data view, the preview fails with the mentioned error. This KB article also answers the following questions:
+- How do I link SQL data source parameters to report parameters in Telerik Reporting?
+- What steps should I follow to ensure my report parameters are recognized during the preview?
+- Why is my report parameter not found in the current context during the preview?
+
+## Solution
+
+To resolve the issue where a report parameter is not recognized in the report preview, ensure that the report parameter is correctly defined in the report's parameters collection and linked to the SqlDataSource component.
+
+1. Verify that the report parameter is added to the report parameters collection. Refer to the [Report Parameters Overview]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/connecting-to-data/report-parameters/overview%}) for guidance on defining report parameters.

+
+    For detailed steps on adding and configuring report parameters, consult the [Approaches for Adding Report Parameters]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/connecting-to-data/report-parameters/how-to-add-report-parameters%}) guide.
+
+1. Ensure that each SqlDataSource parameter is linked to an expression, such as a report parameter value, in the report definition. SqlDataSource parameters cannot directly receive values from the ReportSource.Parameters collection. Review the [Using Parameters with the SqlDataSource Component]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/connecting-to-data/data-source-components/sqldatasource-component/using-parameters-with-the-sqldatasource-component%}) for more details.
+
+    >caption SqlDataSourceParameter
+

+
+By following these steps, you ensure that your report parameters are correctly recognized during the preview, preventing errors related to undefined objects in the current context.
