Setting Default page View 'Design'

[Mpotla]

Hi ,

We have group of power users and Users are working converting Cognos 7.3 IMR reports to Cognos 10.2 CWA.The reports they are converting are long running reports. After convertion ,Every time user opens the report in CWA to edit filters or to modify the report, the reports is default opening in 'Preview' mode Which is really annoying for users.

We tried changing
Tools>Options>View >Start Page View as 'Design'
and
Tools>Options>Edit> Automatically Populate Values List (Unchecked)

But unfortunately these poperties are working in the current session only. When i close all the sessions and log-in day after, all the above settings are reset.

Cognos User guide is showing comments.

"The run options you set apply only to the current session. When you close Cognos Workspace Advanced, the options return to the default settings."

Any help is highly appreciated, my users are very frustrated with this.

Thanks

I am on 10.1 and I can change my options to either Design or Preview and it persists even when I log in as a new session. Are they using a supported browser for your version? Does it happen for some people and not others?

In any case, they don't need to wait for it to run in order to switch over to design mode. They can just select Design mode as soon as they open the report even if it is running.
