When a prompted report is saved, the last-selected prompt values are also saved. In some cases, one or more of those values might not be valid. For example, you select Tracker Shoes as the value for a Product prompt and save the report. Later, the Tracker Shoes product is removed from the data source. The next time someone opens the report, Tracker Shoes is still available as a prompt value, although it returns no results.

In some cases, the last-saved prompt value might be a value that a user should not be permitted to see. For example, an identity-driven filter has been applied to the Country data item so that UserA can see Germany and Canada and UserB can see U.S.A. and Mexico. The report also has a prompted filter for Country. If UserB views results for Mexico and saves the report, then UserA will see Mexico as a prompt value the next time UserA accesses the report. If UserA selects Mexico, he will see no results because the identity-driven filter will be enforced.

As a workaround for version 3.1, before exiting the report, you can reset report prompts to the default values and save the report.

If you are using version 4.2 or 4.3, you must reset the prompts to the default values, view the report, and then save.
