[Closed]Auto submit for multi select value prompt

[pali]

hi all
I want the value prompt with multi select to be auto submit.
Is there any way to achieve that.
Right now I am using reprompt Button for the cascading submission.

i doubt this could be possible.

Hi,

If it's a multi-select prompt, how could ReportNet know when the user has finished selecting items in order to do an auto-submit?  Is it after they have selected 2 values? 5? 10?

I'm afraid that the auto submit and multi select properties are mutually exclusive for this very reason.  The simplest way to submit a multi-select prompt is to do what you are doing now - add a reprompt button (and relabel it with a text item if necessary).

Best regards,

MF.

hi
i think the auto submit is not possible in multi select.I can't believe it.
There will be some way have doing it .

If it's a multi-select prompt, how could ReportNet know when the user has finished selecting items in order to do an auto-submit? Is it after they have selected 2 values? 5? 10?

I disagree with that how reportnetÃ,  will know multi select is finish.
It can be determined once user has selected his/her desired value either using CTRL key or by dragging mouse.
After that some thing can be done so that it submit values automatically.

Hi Pali,

Whether you believe it or not, this is the way Report Studio prompts work.Ã,  Auto Submit and Multi Select are mutually exclusive.Ã,  You are perfectly entitled to disagree that Report Studio can tell when a multi-select prompt is finished of it's own accord, but I'm afraid disagreeing with the way it works will not change anything :-)

If a user is using <ctrl> click to select multiple values, should the prompt auto submit after the first <ctrl> click?Ã,  The second?Ã,  How would Report Studio know when the user has finished selecting?Ã,  If the user is dragging the mouse to select (say) the top 5 items, should ReportNet assume that the user has finished?Ã,  What if the user then wanted to select other items too from lower down in the list?

Regardless, it's academic.Ã,  Unless you go down the route of writing your own code for the prompt using javascript and/or write the report yourself using your favourite programming language and the ReportNet SDK, you are stuck with the rules that govern the way prompts work.

Regards,

MF.

Hmmm - I just re-read this after I posted it, and my response sounds a bit terse.  It wasn't intended to be - please forgive any offence this may have caused.  Hmmm - must be nearly time for my afternoon nap... :-)

Pali,
I assure you that MFGF is absolutely correct.  There is no way to use auto-submit with a multi-select value prompt.  MFGF is telling you the truth.  I'm sorry to say, we just have to accept it and move on.  Thanks for your contributions to this board.
