Problem Statement

• Users want to schedule reports with different parameter values.
• Currently, scheduling requires Edit/Save privileges on workbooks.
• Granting “Create/Edit Workbooks” privilege is not acceptable, as it allows users to create new workbooks on any dataset.

Gap Identified

• Users can change parameters while running reports, but cannot change them while scheduling.
• Workarounds (copying to Personal Folders, granting edit rights) introduce governance risks and are not aligned with customer requirements.

Reference Point

• OAC Classic Agents supported parameter selection during scheduling, enabling flexible self‑service without requiring workbook edit rights.

Proposed Enhancement

• Allow users to choose parameter values directly in the scheduling interface, independent of workbook edit/save privileges.
• This ensures flexibility in scheduling while maintaining governance and restricting workbook creation.

Business Impact

• Empowers users with true self‑service scheduling.
• Reduces administrative overhead and avoids unnecessary privilege escalation.
• Aligns with customer expectations for parity with OAC Classic functionality.

This indeed a good feature, which multiple clients are requesting in OAC and even in FDI. Prod Dev team can you please consider this idea. This will add a good value addition to the product both OAC and FDI.
