MicroStrategy ONE
Views and Models Used for Prompts
The following screenshot of the Prompt Page shows the important view blocks that are used to render the prompts in MicroStrategy Web. There are other view blocks used to render GUI components such as text boxes, buttons, etc. but they are not shown or discussed in the context of prompts. Note that all the data (prompt answers) is provided by model blocks.
These important view blocks are explained in detail later in the documentation; however, the following table describes their role in the implementation of prompts. The table also lists other MicroStrategy Web components that are involved in the rendering of prompts.
