Totara 11.2. Caching is disabled.

If the report has never been run during my current session then it will not show results as it is set to restrict initial display. If I use the "clear" button on the filters it will clear the results and not show any results when navigating back to it.

The workaround I've put in place is that I have three different reports that are treated as embedded reports (but aren't flagged that way) inside a page under the "my" directory. This page determines if the data is POSTed to the page or GETted from it. If it is posted then it just passes the values along to the reports. Otherwise it passes my preferred defaults for each filter to the report. The data is being passed through the session.

This seems to work ok.... for now.
