Title: Passing parameters from a Report to Dashboard
Post by: rrsk on 30 Mar 2022 11:22:32 PM
Hello,

We use cognos 11.2.1 . Is it possible to pass parameters from standard report to Dashboard. The report uses frame work manager package and the Dashboard is built on data module. I tried to use prompt macro in  filter expression for the Country table in data module to receive the parameter value from source report. The data module did not validate. Appreciate your help.

Hi,

I don't think you can drill through from a report to a dashboard passing context. It works the opposite way - dashboard to report. You can also go dashboard to dashboard, or report to report.

Cheers!
