Create a prompt report with IBM CognosReport Studio
To use filters in Designer, you need to first create a prompt report in IBM Cognos Report Studio. In this prompt report, add the prompt objects that you need in an application.
In the report created with IBM Cognos Report Studio:
- Add all prompt objects in blocks.
- For each block, use the same name as the parameter name of the prompt object.
Prerequisites
- You have user rights for IBM Cognos Report Studio.
Procedure
- In IBM Cognos Report Studio, create a report by using the Blank template.
- In the new report, insert a Table with enough rows to hold each prompt object.
- In a table cell, insert a Block.
- In the block, insert a Table with 2 rows and 1 column.
- Drag a Text item to the first row and type a label for the prompt.
- Drag a Prompt object to the second row and build the prompt definition. Remember the Parameter name for further use.
- Select the Block created in step 3. In the Name box under the Properties pane, type the same name as for the Parameter name.
-
Add an HTML tag in the report page with the following code:
<script>
var bPageLoaded = true;
</script>
- Save the report.
Next, you can add the prompt report to an application tab in Designer. For details, see Add filters to tab.
