Custom Report Project Selection

0
Peter George (26●5●1) | asked Oct 06 '11, 9:02 a.m.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a custom report that the user would not have to be prompted to choose which project to see the report. If the user is in "Project One" quality management, I would want the reports to automatically select Project One as the project. Can anyone help me on this?

I assume that you are referring to RRDI reports as Birt reports do not
prompt for the project. You can store default parameter values with the
report itself. In Cognos Connections open the Properties for the report,
go to the Report tab, uncheck the "Prompt for values" check box and then
click "Set..." to set the default parameters. The recommended way is to
do this not actually on the report, but to create a view for the report
that perhaps already indicates in the name that it has predefined
parameters and set the parameters in the view. You can then have
multiple views on the same report all with different parameter values
preselected.

See this page for details:
