Ability to go back to prompt screen on BI Answers - OTBI

Description

Once users run a BI answer (based on a subject area) in OTBI, users cannot go back to the prompt screen. When they go back, they have to reenter all the parameters from scratch. This means you cannot look at the data and filter very efficiently. You have to keep re-entering the parameters. This also means, if you make a small mistake or mistake in one of the prompts, you have to re-enter all values and start all over

The only to get around is to use Dashboards, that means no BI Answers  (OTBI analysis) can be used

Use Case and Business Need

Without the ability to update the prompt values and rerun analyses, it is very limiting and provides poor user experience, especially in self-service user reporting

    As stated
    In OTBI when you have LOV's (many or even 1 with multiple values chosen) and you view the results, there is no method to go back. Browser back button acts just like clicking the CATALOG button; you have to select the analysis to run and start over again.

    Think about an LOV with 1000 values in it. Then out of those 1000, you pick 10 values. You view the results and realize you need to add an 11th value. You have to start over from scratch

    When dashboard is not an option, this is a problem.

    This is a key feature required for end user adoption. Many leading self service reporting tools have this option

    This would save a lot of wasted time, I'm doing this process at least 3 times a week where I need to slightly modify the parameters and thus need to effectively start again every time.

    Much needed feature. It will add value and save time while executing the report. Upvoted.
