Examples for Prompts

The examples shown below demonstrate some typical usage patterns for the WebPrompts and WebPrompt interfaces.

The following examples are explained:

• Iterating Through the Prompts Collection and Printing Properties for Each Prompt  

• Typical Processing of Prompts  

• Highlighting an Object  

• Answering an Object Prompt  

• Passing Prompt Answers through the URL  

• Capturing the Prompt Answers Supplied by the User at Runtime

If a report includes multiple prompts, it is recommended to use the WebPrompts.answerPrompts() method to ensure that all prompt answers are submitted to MicroStrategy Intelligence Server at the same time. Using WebPrompt.answerPrompt() instead, prompt answers are submitted one at a time to MicroStrategy Intelligence Server thus causing synchronization issues if all prompts are not answered successfully.
