Title: Page Layer giving unwanted prompt
Post by: MikeG on 04 Sep 2014 02:22:25 AM
Hi,

I have a Regions level I have put in the Page layer area and this works well creating Uk, EU, ME etc region pages.

However when I run this report I always get a prompt asking for Total regions , as I always want Total regions I select and press OK. Is their anyway I can suppress this prompt ?

I have included a screen print

thanks
Mike

What is it that causes the prompt to be generated? If it is something in your report then can you just delete it or revise the item to not prompt? If it is something in the FM model that drives the prompt then you could put a prompt control in the report with the desired default and set it to auto submit. You could hide the control if it isn't necessary.
