How to Auto-Schedule with a Dynamic Date Parameter

I am using Web Intellignece 4.1 support pack 3.

I have a report that is run on a date parameter basis.

I want to auto-schedule this report to run everyday based on the previous day’s data.

How do I do set this up in the auto-scheduling section?

Either create a new Predefined Condition in the universe that applies the necessary date condition, or upgrade to SP06 and use the new default values feature for prompts (which requires unx).

Hi everybody, it’s me again.

I do not have access to create an object for a universe, or whatever Joe is suggesting.

I am using version 4.1.

I have a relatively simple report and I want the output to always provide forecasted data based on the date field, such that it is >= today.

What options do I have? Is there something I can do with the report filter and simply omit any date criteria in the query filter?

Aren’t these confusing?

Which is it?

Guess… Maybe Relativedate function?
