Render value prompt based on radio button selection

[actcognosuser]

Hi all,

Can this functionality be implemented using render variable or is javascript needed?

PROMPT PAGE

Radio button group     Valueprompt 1 Valueprompt 2  Valueprompt 3  valueprompt 4  valueprompt5
option 1
option 2
option 3
option 4

REPORT PAGES
PAGE 1
PAGE 2
PAGE 3
PAGE 4

If radio button option 1 is selected then only prompt 1 and 2 should be available to select and once selected Page 1 will be displayed

If radio button option 2 is selected then only prompt 1,2,3  should be available to select and once selected Page2 will be displayed

If radio button option 3 is selected then only prompt 1,2,4  should be available to select and once selected Page3 will be displayed

If radio button option 4 is selected then only prompt 1,2,5  should be available to select and once selected Page4 will be displayed

Yes, it can be done using Render Variable and Javascript is not needed.

You might need two Prompt Pages, not one. The 1st Prompt Page will have Radio Button prompt and a prompt button for 'Next'. Once the user selects a value from the Radio Button, the user has to be click 'Next'. That will take the user to the 2nd Prompt Page.

Since Prompts 1 and 2 would be selected in every case so nothing needs to be done for those.

Variables:

Case When Parameterdisplayvalue('RadioButton') = 2 Then 'Prompt3' Else 'None' End
Case When Parameterdisplayvalue('RadioButton') = 3 Then 'Prompt4' Else 'None' End
Case When Parameterdisplayvalue('RadioButton') = 4 Then 'Prompt5' Else 'None' End

-- Check the syntax because I am writing without access to Cognos at the moment.

In the Prompt3, there is a property 'Render Variable'. Select the variable and select Prompt3 .
In the Prompt4, there is a property 'Render Variable'. Select the variable and select Prompt4 .
In the Prompt5, there is a property 'Render Variable'. Select the variable and select Prompt5 .

The 2nd Prompt page will have the 'Finish' prompt button.

You can use the same technique to create variables for the Report pages.

Thank you for the prompt response.

But the ask is to use only 1 page and toggle between options to retrieve the desired report.

Can this be done with all prompts on one page
and have only 1 report page with condition blocks.

In other words, can conditional block be rendered based on radio button and value prompt selections?
