how to set one variable in multiple reports

Arif shah

<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>I have created a landing page, from where I can visit different reports. I have created icons on main landing page and clicking on an icon will take the page to the specific dashboard/report. I have also given a link on each dashboard to take the user back to the main landing page</p><p> </p><p>Everytime a user starts a session, I have included  a data viewing agreement on main page and after a user clicks on I agree, I should the icons to view the dashboards. If the user does not click on I agree button, I have hidden the rest of content on the main page</p><p> </p><p>The current issue is that everytime a user visits main page, he has to agree to the terms. What I want is to set a variable for each session so that if a user agrees first time and visits a dashboards and then comes back to the landing page (main dashboard), the report can use a variable to see if the user has already agreed, then do not show agreement button and show the content of dashboard</p><p> </p><p>However, for each new session, the user has to agree to these terms. So I want to set a variable for each session</p><p> </p><p>Can someone please tell me how can I create such a variable that can be used during the session that a user is logged in so that I can check the variable and then decide whether to show or not the agreemnt button</p><p> </p><p>Regards</p><p>Arif</p>

<p>From what it sounds like, you could use a hidden parameter on the sub reports.  Then, when the user clicks on of the icons you can pass the value of accepted/not accepted to the other reports.  Do you need to use a session variable or would some approach like this work for you?</p>
