Reset or Clear prompts on Report page

[Rebekah]

I have a question pertaining to a report we have built using Report Studio 1.1 MR3.Ã,  This report has 12 prompts available to the user for filtering/sorting purposes.Ã,  Of these prompts, only 3 are requried.Ã,  The remaining optional prompts can be chosen one, all or any combination.

As it is now, the prompts can individually be set back to the "header" so that there is no filter used, but is there a way to cause all the prompts to be reset at once?Ã, 

Ideally a button that would cause them to all go back to as the report opens is what i'd like to have, but i haven't seen an object in the toolbox that will allow that.Ã,  Using the back button isn't really what i want because they'd just have to keep clicking back until they got to the first time they opened the report that time.Ã,  I've tried the reprompt which just runs the report again, and i've also tried to use the hyperlink button hoping to cause it to go to a fresh instance of the report, but that didn't work either (probably did something wrong there, but i put the path that i would use in any other hyperlink to go to the report in the URL property of the button)

Surely others have had need to do the same, so i'm hoping that one of you can shed some light on this for me.

Thanks in advance!

We are running Version 1.1 and unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any easy solutions for this, however in C8 it is a simple solution.  The button at the top of the rendered report will send them back through the Prompt Pages. 

If you get nowhere in you discovery process, it may add to the case to Upgrade...

Thanks for your replies!

The upgrade is certain to happen, i'm just concerned about our method of doing so!Ã, 

As for the prompts, keep in mind that these prompts are on the report page itself, not a prompt page, to keep the end user from having to wait or feel like they're going back and forth over and over again to use the tool.Ã,  So for us the "Run" button simply run's the report based on the prompt values that have been selected (i'm guessing because the prompts, and therefore the parameters/filters, have values set).

But to test the theory, i did just build a prompt page and copied my exisiting prompts to it but leaving the prompts on the report page as well to retain the ease of use but hoping that if the prompt page existed, it would send us back to it.Ã,  It did not; it simply re-runs based on the current prompt values.Ã,  I also tried to add a "Reprompt" button hoping it's mission was to send control back to the prompt page, but it did the same thing.

Is there a property setting or something that i'm missing that we can tell it to always send back to the prompt page?Ã,  Or is there no way to put some code behind a button that will set the parameters/prompts back to nothing?

Thanks again!

In the world of (SOA) the cliche "Where there's a will, there's a way" holds a lot of merit.Ã,  However, my coding abilities are just this side of horrendous, so I will have to defer to some SDK experts for a solution for you.Ã,  I wasn't able to find anything in the Knowldege Base on the topic.Ã, 

And they just happen to be discussing this in the SDK forum right now...
