Can anybody please help me with the following issue? I have been struggling with it all day, and my hair is turning grey as we speak...
It seems like unless a BW variable is made ready for input, Dashboards will ignore it completely. I have a mandatory customer exit on a variable which defaults to the last 12 mths, but when I incorporate into a Dashboard, despite it being mandatory, Dashboard just completely ignores it and runs the report for all fiscal periods instead. This doesn't make sense!
If I make the variable ready for input, the Dashboard won't ignore it, it will pre-populate the variable with Customer exit values, but then will hardcode it! So next time I run the Dashboard it will no longer use the Customer exit values. This is wrong!
I need to have the variable ready for input as it's the only way to connect it to a Query prompt selector in the Dashboard. I want my users to be able to change the default 12 mths to whatever period they want, so I need those selectors in the Dashboard.
Can you please help me out with this?
Many thanks,
AL
