Mailing Cognos reports from prompt page (CP 2012)

QUESTION:
I would like to add the possibility to run the Cognos report but to receive the output by email. Is it possible to directly add this option in the prompt page i.e. selection of output in HTML or by email?


ANSWER:
You can mail the report with filters applied when you launch it from Cognos Connection. You need to click on the little triangle 'run with options'. Then you select 'send by email' and 'prompt for values'. You will then get the filter page and when you launch the report it will be mailed to you, with filters applied.

So it's not possible from the prompt page (without running the report on screen first) but from Connection.
