Once you have saved the document, Web Intelligence refreshes the results in reports
automatically each time you re-open it.
Answering prompts
Prompts are dynamic filters that display a question or a list of values each time you refresh
the data in a Web Intelligence document. You answer the prompt by typing or selecting
specific values. Web Intelligence retrieves the data that corresponds to those values and
returns the filtered data to the document. Using prompts lets you limit the document data to
the specific information that interests you.
For example, you can specify different time periods, product lines, geographies, or
customer accounts each time you refresh the document and only display the values for the
information you requested. A single document can contain one or multiple prompts.
To enter value(s) for prompts to view specific data in reports
1. With a report in a Web Intelligence document open, click
Refresh Data on the right of
the main toolbar above the report.
The
Prompts dialog box appears.
2. Select a prompt question.
If the prompts are organized hierarchically in a tree, you need to select the prompt at
the lowest level of the hierarchy first. This type of prompt is referred to as a cascading
prompt. For more information, see ”Cascading prompts” on page 37.
The values you can choose are listed in the pane on the lower left.
If the prompt has been answered previously, the values selected the last time appear in
the prompt answer pane on the right. You can either leave those values selected or use
the
<< button to remove them.
The options you see when you answer prompts depend on (1) whether this is the first
time the results have been refreshed or not and (2) the properties set for the prompts
when they were created.
