Prompts in Cognos

Hi Guys,

Below are some prompts in cognos .Nothing complex .I am pasting it as these are the prompts that we dont use much often .So just as a reference

List of prompts available in Cognos

Interval Prompt

Range option selected from properties

Text Box prompt

Date prompt 

Use parameter info

If you set this property to YES. then the queries with this property set to YES ,. are first executed then the queries with no parameter in them are prepared later .this will help you if its takes long time for the first prompt page to load which may be because the report has a heavy query in it.Know understand how this helps 

IBM Extract 

When you set this property what you are simply doing it suggesting to Rsvp that it only include those queries you have tagged for the first part of the conversation. Doing this can speed up the time to first prompt page cycle as you are deferring the prepation of queries unrelated to prompting until the later phase
