Setting Dynamic Default value in a Data Drop-Down List

[RKMI]

Hi,

I want to know if it's possible for data drop-down list to set dynamic default value.

For example in prompt page I was to choose various product lines (Outdoors Equipment, Camping Equipment) which were relevant to the active report. During a next run of the report I selected only (Outdoors Equipment).

When the active report was accessed in the data drop-down list it would maintain a dynamic default even if the default were not defined.

Thanks,
RK

Each time your Active Report is viewed, the user is simply opening a pre-rendered MHT file. There are no options to update or write back to the MHT file, other than regenerating it from scratch by running the source report in Cognos 10. This means any defaults need to be defined when the MHT is first rendered. You can either manually define default values for each Active Report Variable, or you can leave these empty and use a Default Card on a data deck to show whatever you want the fixed starting point to be. Those are all the options you have, as far as I know.

Cheers!

MF.

Thx MF for the comments. I think I will do it manually with use of report view for now. :)
