The following properties can be set to ensure the compatibility of your old reports to the new versions of i-net Clear Reports.
Prompt Behavior
Defines the prompt behavior, under which cases the prompt dialog is to be shown, depending on whether or not default values are to be viewed as set values. Possible values:
- VALUES_MUST_BE_EXPLICITLY_SET A prompt dialog is shown every time if and only if at least one prompt value has not been explicitly set via URL parameter, via the API of i-net Clear Reports or via the prompt dialog itself. Note that this differs from i-net Clear Reports behavior former version 7.0 in that default values are not taken as set values.
- TAKE_VALUE_FROM_DEFAULT_VALUES A prompt dialog is shown every time if and only if at least one prompt value has not been set via URL parameter, via the API of i-net Clear Reports or via the prompt dialog itself, AND if the prompt has no default value. If the prompt has a default value, this value is taken as being "set", and no prompt dialog is shown.
- NEVER_PROMPT Prompts are never(!) requested from the user. If a prompt is not set explicitly, it is handled as null. Do not use this setting unless you never want users to be prompted for parameter field values.
Default value: VALUES_MUST_BE_EXPLICITLY_SET
