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.
The values you can choose are listed in the pane on the lower left. If
the list of values is not available, click Refresh
values to display it. The list of values now appears together
with the date on which it was last refreshed.
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 << 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.
3. Select
the values from the list of choices in the pane on the left, for which you
want to view results, or type the values into the text box, and click the
>> to add them to the prompt answer box on the right.
If you type multiple values, you need to separate each value with a semi-colon
(;). For example: Florida;Texas.
4. Click
Run Query.
Web Intelligence retrieves the data for the values you specified, and returns
