Web Intelligence retrieves data for the values you specified, and returns the results to
the reports.
Cascading prompts
Some prompts are cascading prompts. Cascading prompts allow you to focus on the data
that interests you without the need to search large amounts of data that does not. For
example, if you want to include a particular store in a prompt, you can restrict the number
of stores that you need to search by first selected the store city. When you do so, you see
only those stores in the city.
When you refresh a document containing cascading prompts, Web Intelligence displays a
hierarchy of prompts that you answer to arrive at the value that you want to include in your
report.
Note: The lists of values of objects that trigger cascading prompts are specially defined in
the universe to display hierarchically. When a prompt includes such an object, Web
Intelligence automatically displays the prompt as a cascading prompt.
Example: Choosing a store
In this example you have a prompt Store Name Equal To <value>. The Store Name object is
designed in the universe with a hierarchical list of values. When you refresh the document,
Web Intelligence displays a hierarchy of prompts in the Prompts dialog box to help you
isolate the store you are looking for.
