Search and select prompt improvements

When you now perform a search in a Search & select prompt prompt control, a background request is submitted, and the search results are displayed without reloading the entire page.

The search & select prompt behavior can be controlled by the Request mode property on the prompt. This property is available only in interactive reports (where the Run with full interactivity property is turned on).

The Request mode property has the following values:

Legacy

The search & select prompt reloads the entire page.

This is the default behavior for prompts that were created before Cognos® Analytics 12.0.2.

Modern

The search & select prompt works in the new way (without reloading the entire page).

This is the default behavior for new prompts, starting with Cognos Analytics 12.0.2.

In classic reports, the Request mode property is not available.

Existing search & select prompts continue to work as in prior versions of Cognos Analytics.
