Hello All,

Can any one please give me an idea,

in my report i have a value prompt (multi selectable countries list)
this is manually created prompt (inserted one prompt page, then inserted value prompt from toolbox)

when i run the report this prompt shows available countries (what ever exist in Database could be 20 or 50 .....)
in the list when i select values & click finish it works fine

how can i set default values (when we run the report USA & CANADA needs to be select default)
because almost 95% of our customers will run based on only US & CANADA countries

i did, setup valueprompt Default Select Value,  but it is useless, it doesn't work

Please Help Me

Thanks in advance

it will work when you set the default value to the useValue of the prompt. e.x.

You have country name and country code.

useValue: product code (1/2/3/4/5)
displayValue: product description (Germany/US/Canada/France/Italy)

Now you want to set US and Canada as default selection:

default: 2 and 3

hope this helps and cheers
