Title: How to make Text prompt not mandatory?
Post by: RAJESH_COGNOS on 31 May 2009 09:13:06 AM
the text prompt I use in my report while run is asking for an input Though I am setting Required field to 'NO'.

Can someone help me how to make this not required.

Thanks
Rajesh

Have you set the corresponding filter's Usage property to Optional? It might have been set to Required thats causing the prompt to be mandatory. Change it to Optional and it will work fine.

Hi RAJESH_COGNOS

as Rajaggopal mentioned ...put the filter property as Optional in each Query where u are using that particular filter.

What is filtering property? Where is it located?
If I select the text prompt on my prompt page,A properties pane appears left hand side below and there is a REQUIRED field which I changed to 'NO'
is that what you guys are talking about?

No, it is not.

....they are referring to where you've used the parameter in your QUERY.

Select the filter object in your query ....it is a property.
