3. From the Data tab, drag the object on which you want to apply a prompt and drop it
onto the Query Filters pane.
The query filter appears in outline in the Query Filters pane.
4. Click the arrow at the right of the Query Filter and select Prompt from the menu.
5. Type the prompt text in the text box.
6. Click the icon next to the text box and use the dialog box that appears to set the
prompt properties.
NOTE: If the prompt is for a date and you want users to see the popup calendar in
order to select the date(s) then do not select Prompt with List of Values.
By default, Web Intelligence prompts display a list of values and a prompt box. For full
information, see ”Choosing how prompts display” on page 118.
If the document contains multiple data providers, and there is already a prompt that
includes (1) objects with the same data type, (2) operators of the same operator type,
and (3) that uses the same prompt text as the new prompt, Web Intelligence displays a
warning to tell you that the two prompts will be merged. This means that whenever all
the data providers are refreshed, a single prompt message will appear for the two
prompts. (For full information, see ”Merging prompts on multiple data providers” on
page 119.)
7. Click OK to confirm the prompt.
The prompt appears at each document refresh. For information on refreshing
documents with prompts, see
page 27.
8. To edit an existing prompt, follow steps 4 - 6.
9. To delete a prompt, right-click it and select Remove from the menu.

their business need. For example, if you combine the following three prompts on a
Customer Accounts document:
