I have a SAS VA report with a prompt that has many multi-select list objects. It is imperative that the users of the report have the ability to save their selection so that they can reopen the report with their previous selections already filtered.
I know it is possible to use parameters for single-selection objects and build a URL that will select filter the report. My current report uses only multi-select objects which do not allow for parameters.
We have currently thought of some (poor) workarounds for this problem.
All three of these ideas seem terrible to me. I was wondering what others have done to save user selections.
I just happened upon this post from a few years back. I did want to note that the report state is saved for users as of the Visual Analytics 8.3 release.
