Prompts - To remember the old value used

building reports webintelligence
1

I have a request that the report should “remember” the prompt that was used earlier by the user during the previous run of the report. How and where do I set that?
When I set the “Keep Last Values Selected” check box in the prompt properties, it only keeps the last value that was selected when I am running the report in WEBI. Once I deploy it and users run it from Infoview, they get to see the values that I have used while running this report. Not the ones they used the last time. How to get these values that they used?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

The user must save it as their own copy to persist their prompt entry through. It is the owner’s last entered prompt value that is remembered.

It will remember the values used the last time the report was saved. Since you are the “publisher” of the report (and I assume you don’t allow users to overwrite the standard published version) it will be your choices. In order to save their own choices, the user has to save a copy of the report in their own “Favorites” folder.
