Cognos Video: Building Prompt Page with Cascading Prompts in Report Studio

Watch how to build a Cognos prompt page with cascading prompts in Report Studio for dynamic, user-friendly report filtering.

In this tutorial video, we build a separate prompt page in Report Studio using multiple cascading prompts.  We examine the adjustment and settings of properties associated with cascading prompts needed to allow these prompts to function efficiently and properly.  Specifically, we review the multi-select-auto-submit, and static choices properties.  In addition, we show the use of a complex ‘if’  statement used in a detail filter used to populate a ‘static choice’ field in a prompt.
