Ordering prompts in documents

You can change the order in which prompts are presented when the document is executed.

For example, your document contains datasets with Country, Region, and Call Center prompts, and that is the order you want to answer the prompts. The Prompt Ordering dialog box allows you to specify that order.

If you do not change the order of the prompts, the default prompt order is used. For details on how the default order is constructed, see The order of prompts.

For information on prompt order in reports, see Steps to order prompts in reports.

To order prompts

  1. Open a document containing at least one prompt in the Document Editor. (How?)

  2. From the Data menu, choose Prompt Ordering. The Prompt Ordering dialog box opens.

    The Prompt Ordering option is displayed after a prompt has been answered at least once. To do this, you can switch to PDF View, which opens the Prompt Answer Wizard. Click Cancel, then return to Design View. The option is now displayed.

  3. Select the prompt to modify and click the up or down arrows to change its order.

  4. Once the prompts are in the correct order, click OK to return to the Document Editor.
