Hello Experts ,
I have a Report with Prompt page , having 2 Value Prompts and Date Selection Prompt. When I am adding this report , Prompt page does not get display in Portal Page. I tried adding Multi-page widget and Report Viewer Widget. In both case Prompt page is not displayed. I do not have any javascript and these Prompts are mandatory prompts. I have also checked that Report is set to 'Run the Report'.
I am using Cognos 10.2.1.

Please let me know resolution of this issue , if any one has faced this earlier.

Hi Ganesh,

From my limited experience using Portal pages, prompt pages will not display.  I'm not sure why - perhaps someone else may help answer this.

One alternative you might consider is to provide a separate portal window, which contains a separate report, which only contains prompts.  Then connect this window to your report window, using Communication Channel property of both portal windows (just name the Communication Channel something like "PROMPT CHANNEL").

Another alternative (not as attractive, but perhaps easier) is to place your prompts in your Report Page, rather than in a Prompt Page.  Then add a prompt button to your report page, so the user can apply the prompt selections to the report.

Hope this helps.
