Dropdown Problem with selection

[kalyan_sekhar1]

Hi,

Here is a wiered error, In my report i am ahaving a dropwdown list with years list populated. Now when i select a year and i am getting the data accordingly. After i log out and login i am getting the previous selected year. But i need the default year in the Dropdown List. How to go with that ?

EG:

Year Dropdown list > IF i select year 2004 and view data , after i logout and login i am getting 2004 data, the same happens when i change the year . Next time it is coming to that year. but i need default year as 2005 once they log out and login again

Thanks

You can set the Default value in the dropdown box properties.

Problem with ReportNet is that if you are the owner of the report, the prompts are saved and in some other cases as well.

We had the problem with drill-through reports where the previous runs selection were saved in the report, which lead to a wrong drill-through output for the other users.

The work around is:
Create an new user like "GenericReportCreator" with enough rights to folders and reports.
Logon with this user in reportnet, open the report properties and click "Make me the Owner".
Then GenericReportCreator is the owner of this specific report.
Then in security tab, change the Write option for all roles and users classes to be DENIED.
Don't leave the write as blank but force it to be denied.

As nobody is using GenericReportCreator to run reports or to drill-through , the prompts are not saved anymore.

Bottle neck is everytime you are amending the report you have to remenber to give you the write permission.
Or you could amend the report with your own user-id, and before saving it in reportStudio, use the File/log off , File / Logon to signon as GenericReportCreator, who is anyway allowed to save the report even so the write is denied ( Owners can do what they want).
