Title: enable hit enter to search in a text box prompt
Post by: coolbro on 28 Feb 2023 12:43:30 AM
Hi colleagues,

I am currently having an issue with a text box prompt functionality in a Cognos Page.

I want to be able to hit enter to search instead of manually clicking on the search button. I've looked it up online and it says that in its "properties" pane there should be a "interaction" tab to enable this feature. However in editing mode, my cognos (v11.1.7) doesn't have this tab for some reason.

Can anyone explain why this is or how to resolve the issue?

Tried what online resource suggested but had no luck.

A little more information would be helpful.  How do you have your textbox prompt configured?

I'm having trouble with this because I have never seen a "search" option for a textbox prompt and the properties pane doesn't have tabs.  Are you sure you're asking about Cognos Analytics?

He asked the question on the IBM CA forum and stackoverflow as well as here.  In all 3 cases, he was asked to clarify the problem and cite the documentation he refers to.  He has not responded.  The stackoverflow question disappeared sometime between yesterday and this morning.
