Hi All,

I have created a optional prompt in my Report,

In my report i have 2 optional prompts and 1 Optuonal, When i dont choose any value in the optional prompt and click on submit Buttn,

The another page appears which ask me to enter the value in the Data Item which i used for that optional promot.

I have no clue why is it asking same.

Please help............

One quick Guess  is if you are using that prompt in multiple queries the name of the prompt you have given is different . May be for this reason its asking the same prompt twice

PRIT AMRIT

also make sure in all your queries the the filter properties set as 'Optional'

Jahanvi- i am using the Same Data item in 3 of my Queries.

Now i dint get your point what you meant?

"is if you are using that prompt in multiple queries the name of the prompt you have given is different"

prit:

Where do i find that property?


PRIT AMRIT

Find... If it's set to Required then it will prompt for a value.

jahnavi

ok.. Suppose in my first Query [dataitem1]=?p_select? and in the second [dataitem1]=?p_seect?

then it will ask twice
