How could I do this?

Hi!

I need to make a report available to another department in the company than what it was initially made for.

My problem is that one of the filter must change and I cannot make it a prompt accessible to the user, they must not be able to see the other department data. The report has other prompts that must be filled in by the user.

If I could have use the report name I could have based my filter on that but that is apparently unavailable for queries (only layouts)...

re: http://www.cognoise.com/index.php?topic=13666.0

We have a strict policy regarding report names so it would have worked...

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Nick

Do you mean that you are not allowed to:

       
  • check the report design of the existing report?
  • create a 2nd report for the other department?
You can reference layout components between reports, but it is unclear where you are after and what exactly is holding you back..
