User Input Prompt

Xcelsius 2008
Business Objects X1 12.1.0

I have a dashboard which i want the user to set the date that they wish to refresh the data against… so I want to have a user input prompt that updates the data field which in turn will refresh the data on the dashboard…

the dashboard is linked to a webi report, and i have a live connection… and setup refresh on trigger to a cell when cell updates…

I have tried using a text input box, however the date turns to text format… and I am not sure this is way this should work…

regards, paul

Yup, that’s the way it works. A text input box will only input text. You will need to add a cell in your dashboard that converts it to a date.
