Action Links in 12c

Question

When clicking on a column with action link enabled on report A, the target report B previously filtered by "is prompted", is not filtering on the data we are sending through our click.

I am using WEB CONTENT. I see that the URL in the TOP the value is being passed correctly:

saw.dll?Go&Path=%2FShared%2FFOLDER%2FReport&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Table.Column&P3=32900

In the target report B I made the filter available to the "Column" as "IS PROPMTED". I'm on 12.2.1.2. Am I supposed to do something different? If I select "As a result of another analysis" then the filter gets applied to the report only if there is one result, so is not really passing the value. I just want to confirm that this is not a bug and I did not set that correctly.

Yes, you declare presentation variable in dashboard prompt.

Then you can use it in your report like this ...

where do you declare Presentation Variables? isnt that specifically for dashboardS?

The object needs to be same in Report A and B in order to "Is Prompted" work properly. You can add an unprotected filter on the column and check if the value changes in report B. As unprotected filter and is prompted works same way. You can also use presentation  variable to force Report B to use value from the report A.

Thank You
