I have a year parameter with drop down values. Values are 2012,2013,2014. I am using a page prompt.
When I run the report, I want to display the page prompt and set the year to automatically select 2013. Please help on how I can accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.
There are tons of example on this forum to accomplish this. A simple google search will also give you what you need.
If you cannot find it, have a look at this wiki:

I need to default the year based on current month (ie if month < 10, then default to current year, else default to next year). I cannot hard code the year. I would like to try to set the default WITHOUT using Java script. Is this possible? If so please assist step by step on how to accomplish. Thank you.
Your only option is javascript with Cogos 10.1 and prior.
Also I heard that version 10.2 has new prompt functionally.
See #5 option in article below. I cannot make it work. I'm very new to COGNOS. Is it possible to use this option to default my year parameter?
