Prompt settings being passed between Dashboard Pages - Can this be stopped?

I have a dashboard with 4 pages. Pages 1 and 2 share the exact same prompt, page 3 has its own prompt but within that prompt it has a field that is common with the prompt on pages 1 and 2. Page 4 has its own prompt as well with some fields that are common to the prompts on pages 1 - 3.
All prompts are included in their own section on the dashboard pages. All prompts have scope set to 'Page' in their settings.
If I go to page 1 and enter some values into the prompt and then run the report everything looks good. But if I click on the tab for page 2, all the prompts are carried over from page 1 and the report returns results for those inputs.
Similarly if I run page 3 (which is a completely different prompt) and enter some values and run the report and then click over to page 2, the page 2 prompt uses the values for the common fields from the page 3 prompt.
Ideally, if a user clicks on a new tab I would like it the prompt to be initialized with nothing (especially since I set scope to Page). I think it can be confusing if a completely different prompt has its values carried over to another pages prompt just because they share a field.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

The only way to do this is set the Scope of the prompt to Page and not Dashboard ... are you setting any values of the prompted columns in these prompts - if you set a presenataion variable in prompts 1 or 2 then don't use it to preload the the columns on prompts 3 or 4. Curious - what do you have the defaults set to? Report defaults? Specific Value? etc.
Also: I notice you reference the 3rd prompt as being Scoped at Page - what about prompts 1 and 2? All 4 should be scoped at page ...

Column Passing between dashboard pages using Column Format- Navigation

I've been put in a tough spot due to an error in BI Publisher which I can't seem to fix and won't be discussing in this post, thus I'm trying to find an OBIEE work around that adheres to the client's heuristics requirements. So OBIEE dev's more experienced than I, lend me your wisdom.
I have a logical layout with two descriptive dimensions, a time dimension and a singular fact table. An explanation of the dashboard pages, their requests, prompts and other objects is below:
Dim 1
- Dim1 Key
- Dim 1 Descr
Dim 2
- Dim 2 Key
- Dim 2 Descr
Dim Date
- Typical Date blah blah
Fact
- Measure 1 (Count of Dim 2 Key)
Dashboard Page 1
- Prompt 1
- Request 1
Request 1
- Columns
     - Dim 1 Descr
     - Measure 1
     - Dim 1 Key (Hidden)
- Filters
- Dim 1 Key is Prompted
- Dim Date is Prompted
- Formatting
     - Dim 1 Descr navigates to Dashboard Page 2
Prompt 1
- Dim Date.Date is Between
Dashboard Page 2
- Prompt 2
- BI Pub Report 1
BI Pub Report 1
- Parameter
     - p_key (takes in Dim 1 Key)
Prompt 2
- Dim 1 Descr is Equal
- Dim 1 Key is Equal - populates presentation var: p_key
So the functionality I'm expecting is that the user starts on Dashboard Page 1 selects a date range from Prompt 1. Selects a row and navigates to Dashboard Page 2 by clicking on a Dim 1 Descr 1 value, which in turn passes the Dim 1 Descr value and the Dim 1 Key value (which is hidden) to Dashboard Page 2.
On Dashboard Page 2, Prompt 2's Dim 1 Descr and Dim 1 Key become the values passed from Dashboard Page 1 and p_key is populated with the value which Prompt 2 Dim 1 Key becomes. Lastly BI Pub Report 1 gets p_key from OBIEE, and runs displaying what it’s supposed to.
Currently everything works, except the passing of Dim 1 Key from Dashboard Page 1 to Dashboard Page 2. The question is, firstly, is it possible to pass Dim 1 Key without it being visible on Request 1 or without using Dim 1 Key as the point of navigation to Dashboard Page 2. If so, what of my above mentioned setup is incorrect? My guess is that I need Dim 1 Key in Prompt 1, but the client is adamant that I leave Prompt 1 alone, so any other options would be great.
I also know that the above is possible with GoUrl or PortalPath but since on the actual request there are multiple Navigation Target options, I'd like to avoid having to resort to GoUrl or PortalPath, but if this is the only method, how can multiple options be given using GoUrl or PortalPath?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karthick,
Thanks for the updated info. I tried what you suggested and unfortunately still no value passed. It seems hidden via OBIEE format options, hidden via CSS or unhidden the value is only passed if the navigation is set up on that particular field. So if I have two fields in the report and I want to click on Field 1 and pass Field 2, Field 2 will not be passed. I am going to try this on a up to date environment and see if it works, since the client is using a slightly outdated version of OBIEE.
Thanks for the suggestions so far,
Matt

Firefox Maximizes by Itself After Being Minimized, even if I am working on something else, it will maximize and come to the forefront of my screen...can this be stopped?

While I have the FF browser minimized and I am working on another application or in another browser, the FF browser will maximize and jump up on my screen automatically. This happens often while it is minimized. There are no pages that would seem to auto-refresh (don't think that's relevant though). The whole thing will randomly maximize for no reason. Can this be stopped?
It's annoying, especially if I am working and training people and the FF browser jumps up out of nowhere after being dormant. This has been happening for several week, it's now become bothersome.

Ya, it takes forever for it to happen. It seemed to be doing it with almost all of my add-ons... It's probably some combination of add-ons.
illumiveri, can you confirm if you have some of the same add-ons as me. I have:
* Adblock plus
* BetterPrivacy
* ChromeEdit Plus
* FindBar Tweak
* NoScript
* Tab Mix Plus
It happened like 3 times within a few hours. It's like someone or something is controlling my mac. It's disconcerting. I disabled remove cookies by timer in betterprivacy. Now let's see. Also, I upgraded to fx 7. so it was happening since 4 and even with 7.

I doubt that this is happening. Why do you think that you are being charged for all 78?
Did you buy them again?
You only buy one download, so if you downloaded them again you would have to pay again.

Screen Saver Photos are beginning to rotate on their own. (How) Can this be stopped?

I have a large number of photos I use for Screen Saver and they are beginning to rotate spontaneously, sideways and upside down. Is there anything I can do to stop this action? I'd have to go through hundreds of photos to find and change the twisted ones and from previous experience the adjustment doesn't hold for long if at all.
They are held in my Kodak and iPhoto Apps and/or under "Pictures" file in my home directory.
I am using OSX 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo, 21" iMac.
TIA ....goldie

Keep receiving same MMS message over and over - can this be stopped?

Since two days ago I have received 25 copies of the same MMS message. It originally took much longer than normal for it to arrive, but it is now becoming annoying and I'd like to know I'd there's anything I can do to stop it. Both I and the sender have deleted the message, and rebooted our phones, but to no avail. Both are iPhone 4S, on O2. Thanks!

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

The browser background along the sides of the page will not stop moving. it's very distracting. Can this be stopped?

the background shading moves up and down.

Looks O.K. to me Opens correctly in Firefox and Opera as a log-in page for Killer Content - Win7x64 Fx5.
I can't see any oddities in your plug-ins. It never hurts to clear any relevant cookies and your cache.
You could see how it goes in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens and continue. If the page opens you probably have a problem with extensions or themes and you should work through this -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
A lot of things have been updated as well as Firefox and you could have a culprit or conflict. Next, if there is no improvement you could try disabling third party toolbars, and you should report back at this stage or if there has been early success.
Someone may come by with a more specific remedy.

When I open a new tab I would like it to open to either my home page or a search page, can this be done?

As of right now when I open a new tab it is a blank page. I would like a new tab to go right to my home page or open a search option. I could not find a way to make Firefox do that. Is it an available option?

use this add-on:

Sharing by email always opens mail but can this be stopped?

Before iOS7 if I shared a webpage or something from my FlipBoard by email it would just email the link, but since upgrading to iOS7 it now sends the email but for some reason is opening Mail and therefore doing a full send and receive which is driving me nuts because I don't want to receive emails on my iPad. Anyone know of a way this can be turned off at all?

Hard to believe you've used OS X so long but don't know how to change the sort order. For folders in List View simply click on the column header you wish to use for the sort order. Press COMMAND-J, click on the top checkbox to always view in List (or Icon) View, set other display parameters, click on the Use as Default bottom button. This will set the display for that folder and all sub-folders of that folder. This can also be done for Icon views as well.
You can change this temporarily in the View menu of the Finder by selecting the desired sort order from the Arrange By menu item.
None of the above is followed if you only use Snap to Grid.
Ok, so my post was a little long but it's hard to believe (your words) that you didn't read it more carefully (maybe because it was so long)! I wasn't complaining about list view -- I was talking about icon view. I mentioned that I keep view options window displayed (cmd-J) to set the options. I mentioned I always use snap to grid for icon views. I know how set default button works and I've tried to control the child folders with it. Yet the random sort-by-name behavior on new folders as I described it persists. That's why I described as a finder "obsession".

My sms messages open automatically when messages icon is pressed can this be stopped?

When I am notified I have received a sms and press the messages icon it automatically opens my message received. I would like to have the list of messages and I can access and open the sms myself.
Hoping someone can help

Make sure to exit Messages properly. When you're done having a conversation with someone, close the actual conversation and make sure you see the list of messages (in Messages) before you press the Home button. It is possible that when you received the notification, it also came from the person you last had a conversation with, and you didn't close that conversation when you last pressed the Home button.
