Hello
I think you couldn't d what you want normally as depend on my information cognos navigate to pages according it's order
so you must navigate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 in this order

however i think you can work around that by java-script but what i am going to write next is just a suggestion i didn't try it on a real case

what i suggest is to
1- add a value prompt in the 1st page has four static choices lets say Page2 ,Page3 , Page4 ,Page5
2- aslo in the 1st page add 4 HTML item each one of them will represent a navigation to a specific page from the four pages
3- in each HTML we will do two things first check the page we want to navigate to in value prompt and then do the next button function
it will be something like that

Code Select Expand


<script type="text/javascript">
function PageNavigate1()
{
var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms["formWarpRequest"]);
if (fW)
fW._oLstChoicesPromptName.options[1].selected = true; 
promptAction('next');
}
</script>
<button onclick="PageNavigate1();">To Page 2</button>

4- in each 4 pages we will put a HTMl item which will represent a java-script check on the parameter in the value prompt and also will do the next button function if the page is not the selected page at the parameter

the summary of my suggestion is to navigate from page to another to reach the page we want

let me know if you got what i mean
