Building prompt filters on data providers120
The display properties of the merged prompt
When you create a new prompt that has the same prompt text as another prompt, the
display properties specified for the two prompts are applied to the merged prompt
according to the following rules:
• Select only from list takes priority over a prompt message that does not include this
constraint
• Prompt with List of values takes priority over a prompt message that does not
display the List of values
• Keep last values selected takes priority over a prompt message that does not include
this constraint
• Set default value takes priority over a prompt message that does not have a default
value set for it
Web Intelligence applies the properties of the prompt with the most constraints to the
merged prompt. For example, a document contains three prompts with the same object
data type, the same operator type, and the same prompt text, and with the following
display properties:
• Prompt 1: Select only from list, Prompt with List of Values
• Prompt 2: Prompt with List of Values, Set default value(s)
• Prompt 3: Select only from list, Prompt with List of Values, Set default value(s)
In this case, Web Intelligence applies the properties of Prompt 3 to the merged prompt.
The List of Values used by the merged prompt
The List of Values displayed by the merged prompt is the list associated with the object in
the prompt that has the most display property constraints. So, in the example given above,
the List of Values displayed by the merged prompt is the list associated with the object used
in Prompt 3.
Adding prompts to documents
You can apply one or multiple prompts to a document. The prompts appear in the order
you create them, but you can also edit the order in which the prompts appear later. For
information about prioritizing multiple prompts see ”You can also combine prompts with
other types of query filter in the same way.” on page 123.
Creating a prompt
To create a prompt:
1. Make sure you are in Query View.
The Edit Query button is pressed in when you are working in Query View.
2. Make sure the Query Filters pane is visible, then select the query on which you want to
create a prompt, by clicking the appropriate query tab.
If the Query Filters pane is not displayed, click the Show/Hide Query Filters Pane
button.
