Is there a way to add a prompt to a report so that the value just gets displayed in the report, without it being tied to a query?
I want to have something like a prompt that would be:
Report Run By: [_______________]
Where you type in your name and the report would display whatever the person types into a field. Is this possible in 8.1?
You can use a text box prompt, so that when the report is run, prompt page is displayed and the user enters the desired text. In the report page, u can use layout calculation so that whatever the value entered in the text box prompt will be displayed.
I also have a Value Prompt, which is based on items in my Data Source. So for example, ?SalesStore? has a drop down list that populates with one of the stores from the DB.
When I add the prompt page... the list does not populate and I can't finish my prompt to go onto the report.
Why would adding a prompt page be doing this to my value prompt?
