Prompting for a User's Login Name: System Prompts

System prompts are built-in prompts that are created when the project is created. System prompts are created in the System prompts sub folder in the Prompts folder of MicroStrategy Developer.

The User Login system prompt is a special prompt that returns the current user's user login. The user is not prompted to provide an answer to the User Login prompt, as the Intelligence Server automatically answers the prompt with the user's login when prompts are resolved. The User Login system prompt can be used in conditions in which a text value prompt is used in a report.

See the System Administration Help for details on working with system prompts.

The system prompts Token 1, Token 2, Token 3, and Token 4 are provided to support using an XQuery source to authenticate users for a MicroStrategy project. For steps to report on and authenticate using XQuery sources, Using XQuery to Retrieve Data from a Web Service.
