In Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.2, the JavaScript Prompt API provided report authors with a
method of customizing prompt interactions in the reports they authored. Fifteen samples were
created to demonstrate how to use the Prompt API. After you install the Extended Samples, you
will find the Prompt API samples in the Samples_Prompt_API folder.

In Cognos Analytics 11.0.4, embedded JavaScript support changed and improved. Consequently,
the 10.2.2 Prompt API samples have been re-written for 11.0.11, using this new approach.

What has changed?


Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.2 used HTML Items, JavaScript, and the Prompt API. The
report is rendered in the Classic Viewer only. IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.4+ uses Custom Controls
(instead of HTML items) and JavaScript modules. The report is rendered in the Interactive Viewer.

Here is a list of the original Prompt API samples that have been updated in 11.0.11:

Clear prompt selections


Date prompt presets
Display all prompt values ignoring user selections
Display user selected prompt values
Filter country by letter (now called HTML select and HTML slider)
Limit numeric prompt selection by database value
Limit time between two dates
Limit user selection to two items
Personal default prompt selections - set selections
Personal default prompt selections - use selections
Validate prompt values when button pushed
Validate type-in postal code values
Validate type-in product line code

Coming soon:

Date time prompt presets


Limit date prompt selection by database value

Deprecated:

Pass parameter via hidden prompt

Note: You can also successfully open and use all the version 10.2.2 samples in their original form
in Cognos Analytics 11. They will be rendered in the Classic Viewer only.

How to install the 11.0.11 JavaScript Samples

The setup instructions and JavaScript sample files are installed (but not configured or imported)
with the product in an Easy installation, and if the Samples option is selected in a Custom
installation. After product installation, you can find the files here: <Cognos Analytics installation
location>\samples\JavaScript\

Please open the file JavaScript_setup_instructions.pdf and follow the steps.

All the JavaScript samples now use a data module as their data source, making them much easier
to import.
