Passing Parameters via URL in Cognos Analytics( aka Parameterized URL)

Passing parameters via URL is a tad bit different in Cognos Analytics compared to previous versions of Cognos.

Below I have tried to explain the syntax necessary to pass parameters through URL in Cognos.

http:///ibmcognos/bi/?pathRef=&format=HTML&Download=false&prompt=false&promptParameters=%5B{“name”:”year”,”value”:[{“use”:”2019″,”display”:”2019″}]}]&promptParameters=[{“name”:”month”,”value”:[{“use”:”5″,”display”:”May”}]}]

http:///ibmcognos/bi/?pathRef=&format=HTML&Download=false&prompt=false&promptParameters=%5B{“name”:”year”,”value”:[{“use”:”2019″,”display”:”2019″}]}]&promptParameters=[{“name”:”month”,”value”:[{“use”:”5″,”display”:”May”}]}]

Note: if the value you are trying to pass is a MUN, then simply replace the use value with MUN from cube or DMR, Etc.
