I would like to set up a prompt / filter as part of the model that carries through to the report builder. I have a query where I would like to force a prompt on the user as part of any report they create. Ideally, I would like to have it default as well.
I noticed that there is a prompt attribute in model designer. When I go to add the filter attribute in model designer, I get the same dialog box I get in the report builder - except it does not have the prompt as an option. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks
There is no way to specify in the report model that filter conditions created for a given attribute should be set to "Prompt" by default.
It's an interesting request, though. If you have a minute, I'd be interested to hear more about why this feature is important to you. You can contact me through my blog.
|||For the same reason an administrator might set up Prompts on Reports in RS...RB reports are no different. We might want to impose certain filters...either to guide users in report building, or perhaps to limit the amount of resources in querying. the reasons are too numerous to list.
Having the capability on the user front-end but not the development back-end is a deficiency.
