Ordering prompts

A prompt allows a user to provide an answer to restrict or filter data during report execution. For example, the user can answer the Northeast region or 2022, and the appropriate data is returned from the data warehouse. Therefore, prompts allow you to create reports that let users change the report content at run time. Prompts can modify the definition of custom groups, filters, metrics, and templates, as well as reports.

This procedure lets you display prompts in a specific order a report. For instructions to order prompts in documents, see Ordering prompts in documents.
