Title: Performing wildcard searches in an Active Report
Post by: anthony.mower on 07 Dec 2012 04:23:35 AM
I have a need to create an active report for a user to run offline that when ran brings back a large volume of product sales related data.  Once ran the user then needs the ability to search within the data set returned to find a particular product based on part of the product name.

Does anyone know of a way to do this within an active report which is to be viewed via Cognos Mobile on an Ipad device?

Regards
Anthony

I don't think this is possible right now. Active Reports work on the basis of a selected value being placed into a variable and other objects reacting to this value. I have not seen an option to use any sort of wildcard in this.

I'm moving this post to the Cognos 10 Active Reports section in case anyone in there has some ideas...

Thanks MF thought this was the case but wasn't sure.
