IBM Cognos TM1 Developer V10.2 — Question 3

A report author has the following filter in a report:
[Product line] in ?pline?
The report author adds a Value prompt based on the existing parameter "˜pline'. After adding the prompt, the Auto-submit property is defaulted to "˜No' and cannot be changed to "˜Yes'.
What is the cause of this?

Answer options

• A. Default selections are missing in the Value prompt.
• B. The Value prompt created based on the filter is a Multi-select prompt.
• C. A prompt based on an existing parameter as Auto-submit cannot be made.
• D. Auto-submit is a property that is only available for select and search prompts.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Multi-select prompts do not support the Auto-submit feature, which is why it remains set to 'No'. Options A and C are incorrect as they do not accurately address the limitations of Auto-submit with respect to Multi-select prompts. Option D is also incorrect since Auto-submit is not limited to select and search prompts but is affected by the type of prompt used.
