Selecting and Ordering the Methods Used to Resolve Prompts

Use the following options to configure how Integrity Manager answers prompted reports:

  • Personal answer: Prompt answers saved for individual MicroStrategy logins. Prompts with personal answers saved for the login can be resolved using those personal answers. You can also specify how to use personal answers to answer a prompt:
    • Use only default personal prompt answer for each prompt: By default, Integrity Manager only uses the default personal answer for each prompt. If a prompt does not have a default personal answer for the current user, Integrity Manager moves to the next method of prompt resolution.
    • Group personal prompt answers by their names: Integrity Manager executes each report/document once for each personal answer for each prompt in the report/document. If multiple prompts in the report/document have personal answers with the same name, those personal answers are used for each prompt in a single execution of the report/document. For instructions, see Using non-default personal answers for prompts.
  • Default object answer: A prompted report can have two possible default answers: a default answer saved with the prompt and a default answer saved with the report. These default answers can be used to resolve the prompt. If both default answers exist, Integrity Manager uses the answer saved with the report.
  • Integrity Manager user-defined answer: Required value and hierarchy prompts can be answered according to the defaults provided in the Select Prompt Settings page.
    • Required value prompts without default answers can be answered with the defaults provided in the Select Prompt Settings page. If a list of prompt answers is provided in the Customize Value Prompt Answers dialog box, then Integrity Manager cycles through the provided answers for each report, starting at the beginning of the list.
    • Required hierarchy prompts without default answers can be answered by selecting as many elements from the beginning of the hierarchy as are specified in the Select Prompt Settings page.
  • Integrity Manager internal answer: Integrity Manager can use its internal logic to attempt to answer any other required prompts without default answers. For example, a prompt that requires a certain number of elements to be selected from a list can be answered by selecting the minimum number of elements from the beginning of the list.

By default Integrity Manager uses all the options in the order listed above. To enable or disable an option, select or clear the check box next to its name. Select an option and click UpUp or DownDown to reorder the list of selected options used to resolve prompts. For more information, see Executing prompted reports in Integrity Manager.

Resolving Prompts in MicroStrategy Web

If you select the Link to MicroStrategy Web for unresolved prompts check box, whenever a prompt cannot be resolved by the options selected above, Integrity Manager opens the report in MicroStrategy Web. You can then resolve any prompts in the report and Integrity Manager can run the report with the prompt answers you specify.

Type the URL for the MicroStrategy Web server used to connect to the base and target projects in MicroStrategy Web server URL for base connection and MicroStrategy Web server URL for target connection fields. Click Test to confirm that each URL is correct.
