Default Values ?
How to put a default value for a prompt
#2

Hmmmm… I’m detecting a pattern here.

If the report is build in V6 of WebI, then defaults can be displayed.

Otherwise, reports display the last values that were chosen. So, you could always publish the reports with the default values.

thanks for the reply, but I am using version 5.1.3 or may be I will be using 5.1.6 later on, but when the prompts are displayed for the first time i need the following as default values and not the last used value.

for dates the default value should always be yesterday’s date
for the second prompt the default value will always be ‘CCD’
for the 3rd prompt which is a number it will be say 1111

thanks

As suggested in another of your threads, a search will turn up many discussions on this topic. You might find this one useful if SDK is an option for you.
