I have a report named  say "Director" report , the report  should have the option to see "Manager" & "Supervisor" reports in Newtab with drop down functionality.So I have a value prompt with two static choices as 'Manager ' & 'Supervisor'  and here I struck to drillthru from value prompt values?

Is there any alternative to achieve drill thru report having dropdown functionality.

Note:Using Cognos 10.2.2 with IE9 as Interface browser

Thanks in advance.

Just put two text fields on your report for 'Manager' and 'Supervisor" and put the drill throughs from them instead.

No idea - I'd give the user a solution that works and not get hung on the method...you're the report designer after all.

There is no out-of-the-box way to do what you are describing as far as I know. I agree with Chris.

After all, i have changed it to act as "Hyperlink" buttons and user accepted.
Thanks BigChris and Lynn
