Senario: Universe prompt values needs to be saved for user for a session. Once user logs in and run a report the values should be saved for him for current session and if he refreshes the same report he does not have to enter the values again. But to limit this functionality for the current session.

We have choosen non persistant in the universe prompts and dont want to store the values of the prompts on permanent basis since every user runs the report with there own set of variables / prompts.

Thanks.

Toor.

Hi,

You should provide persistent as an option.

If you are using XIR2 ( upto SP3):

1. Open report in edit mode --> Edit query --> take a snapshot for reference

2. Remove all the prompt objects

3. Select Run query and then cancel it imeediately

4. A popup window will appear to purge the data. Select yes.

5. Then go back to Edit query and then add all prompt objects.

6. Save the report.

If you are using XI R3.x / XIR2 SP4

1. Purge option is available in Edit query/Edit Report

2. Save the Report.

In boht cases you should select the prompt parameter as Persistent.

Hope this helps!

You have to choose the persistent in the prompt definition if you want to keep the values selected for the current session.

Now to reset the selected value for a new user or the different sessions of the same user, save the report after purging the prompt

values i.e.

1. Purge the report for data and the prompt values.

2. Save the report

You need to keep in mind that user should not save the report after refreshing.
