BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Updating prompts for Web Intelligence document objects

Note:    This feature does not apply to Crystal reports objects. See Updating parameters instead.

Prompt fields (with preset values) enable users to view and to specify the data that they want to see. If a report contains parameters, you can set the default prompt value for each field or fields (which is used whenever a report instance is generated). Through a BusinessObjects Enterprise application such as InfoView, your users can either use the report with the preset default value(s) or choose another value or values. If you do not specify a default value, users will have to choose a value when they schedule the report.

Note:    The Prompts link is available only if the Web Intelligence document object contains prompts.
