I am new to Webintelligence. I have made a sales report with some filtering and prompting. The users very much would like to see these selections on the report, in order to prevent misunderstanding. How do I do this. Either in the header or just below.
I don’t have a Webi 2.x system to connect to at the moment but…
On the query panel there are 3 tabs. The first is for the results, the second for conditions, and the last for formatting / properties. Click on the third. Click on the drop-down selector and pick Document from the list. That will select the document properties tab. Look through the options, and I think there is something called “show prompts on report” or something like that.
It will display the prompts on the report, so the user can see what they selected. As a bonus, they can even change the item on the report and rerun the report from the viewer.
Dave’s got it right – it’s on the third tab, which is “Settings”, and you want to click the checkbox within the “Document” section for “Show prompts within the report”.
The only real nuisance is that the prompts are displayed in a different frame – so if you “print” – they aren’t displayed on the report “page”.
Unfortunatelly, I can not see the third tab that is called settings in the Query panel.

The instructions that I gave were based on the fact that you posted in the Webi 1.x/2.x forum. If you are actually using the more recent version then the answer is different. The fact that you said “Query Filters” leads me to believe that you are actually using version 6, not version 2.
