Setting up default values

Prompts can be set with default preferred values, based on the logged-in user. This would be very useful when the same value is supplied to a prompt by a user most of the time. Further, it can also be helpful by setting up a default value for the mandatory prompts.

The following example lists the steps required to set up the default value for the mandatory parameter called Product Group:

1. Navigate to the report where the default prompt value is to be saved. Go to the prompt, select the value, and click Apply.
