Hi everyone,
I have a webi document with 2 prompts. The first is a mandatory prompt that is generated by a universe object. The object is named "Subtract Number Of Days Prompt" and when it is used in a query filter it will generate a prompt and then return current date minus the integer input at the prompt. We use it to run statements such as Today - <DYNAMIC NUMBER AS INPUTTED BY PROMPT>
This is becasue my organisation dose not allow custom SQL.
Ok, so I have Minus number of days becasue I want to look at any record <= (CurrentDate - 3 days).
My second prompt is optional and is on Service State.
I have the following URL to open the report:
Works Fine, the prompt is answered with 3 days but for some reason the prompt box is not displayed asking for the state prompt.
I have this exact same URL format working for 7 other reports, only difference is that their state prompt is mandatory.
I can trick it into forcing the prompt box using the following: (Service State:=?)
But this opens up the prompt box with ? selected in the state.
This means if you hit run query it gives a database error becasue ? is not a valid response for state.
You have to either remove it to run for everywhere or select another state to run for a specific state.
This is not the behaviour I want.
I want the prompt box to open up so the users either hits run query leaving state empty or makes a selection and hits run to generate the report for the selected state.
I have not been able to find anything on this issue or anyone else who has experienced it via hours of google searching so I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.
Cheers.
Nick
