Dear SAS Visual Analytics Community,
I’m working with a report in SAS Visual Analytics (version 8.5.2) that includes several control elements, such as filters. The report spans multiple pages and features crosstabs and various graphs.
My goal is to ensure that when users open the report, they are presented with these control elements pre-populated with default values that I’ve specified. Currently, SAS Visual Analytics seems to remember the control values that users applied the last time they accessed the report.
Is there a way to configure the report so that it always opens with these default control settings, regardless of the user's previous interactions?
Thank you for your assistance!
Best regards,
Percentile

Dear Madelyn,
I contacted my SAS-VA administrator, and he responded that it is only possible to apply the solution to all users/reports in our SAS-VA environment—he will not allow that.
Do you know if there is a workaround so that a single report does not remember the control values that users applied the last time they accessed it? In other words, each time the report is opened, it should present itself with default values in its control elements, and interactive graphs/tables should revert back to default settings?
Varm regards Percentle95
