Title: Hw to run d scheduled report with current date and, to give selection when exec
Post by: UseCog on 15 Nov 2010 11:07:31 AM
Hello,

I have a report studio 8.4 report sourced from Cognos cube with the following requirement.

I have a report which is scheduled to run daily with the current date from the cube. Now I want to extend the same report to provide the Cognos users to select 'any date' from the portal and run the same report. But I have the following issues for doing this on the same report

If I add a java script in prompt page to run the report using the current date, this will always run with the latest data and user cant get an option to select the date. I dont have any prompts in the report page as this contain few pages and the pdf page should not have the prompt entries(which is not good and business users dont want to see)

So can you help me to to solve this issue, If I can hide the 'prompts' in pdf reports, I can add the propmpts into the report page. But i am not sure if this can be done

guys/gals: Any tricks here ?

Thanks
UC

not sure though, does it make any sense to hide the 'Prompt' conditionally, say if the report output='PDF' then hide??

Thanks
