Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):

Postmedia Network Inc

Description (Required):

Similar to what it is implemented in BI-Publisher (aka pixel perfect) reports, please add a checkbox to define if we want the analysis to "auto run" or we want the user to be able to fill-in parameters before the first run.

This checkbox would be implemented on dashboards, or dashboard prompts, or analyses with filters that depend on prompts

Use Case and Business Need (Required):

When Users open a dashboard/analysis they need to wait for a first run with default values. We would like a simple solution to this, like the checkbox included on teh BI-Publisher porduct.

This would be a very helpful feature. Currently when we have a required dashboard prompt we have to provide a default value of first in list or custom, neither of which will produce dashboard results that are useful to the majority of our users. Being able to have a prompt be required, but wait to run the dashboard until a relevant value is entered by the user would be a much better experience for the users.
