BOBJ XI R1/R2 Infoview - Validating an user log in when scheduling a report

Question

<p>Hello,</p><p> Is it possible to validate an user input before a report gets scheduled when using BOBJ Infoview? Many times, some users forget to enter their database login info when scheduling their report and find out when it is too late that their report failed and they can get the data they wanted so badly. It would be great if javascript could be incorporated into the scheduling option in BOBJ to validate some input fields before the report get processed. Does anybody know how to do this?</p><p>Thank you</p>
