Title: Run as Option
Post by: Mfg on 02 Jan 2017 08:14:25 AM
Hi All,

how am i suppose to make 'Prompt me' checkbox checked by default for.
I don't find any option in My preferences.
does anybody knows about making it yes by default so that whenever i try to run any report by choosing 'Run as' option i should see the 'Prompt me' option already checked.

Thanks in Advance

Which 'Prompt Me' are you referring to?

When I click on Run with Options I do not see 'Prompt Me'?

Thanks

Hi,

This is a good find. In the report properties there is a "Prompt for values" checkbox, but this only seems to control what happens when you click on the report name to run it (assuming you also have a default set for the prompt in the report properties). If you use the "Run as" option, you seem to have to manually select the "Prompt me" checkbox. I don't see any way of setting this automatically.

I'd log a PMR with IBM if I was you...
