About prompted attribute qualifications

Before you begin

You should be familiar with filters (which contain at least one qualification), prompts, and custom groups. For background information, see About filters, Types of qualifications, About prompts, and About custom groups. An attribute qualification filters on an attribute's form (ID, description, and so on) or on elements of the attribute; for a more detailed description and example, see About attribute qualifications.

Steps to create a prompted attribute qualification

In a filter or custom group, a prompted attribute qualification allows you to qualify on the values of attribute elements, attribute forms, or operators at report run time. You can create the following types of attribute qualification prompts:

  • Choose from all attributes in a hierarchy allows you to choose an attribute to qualify on at run time. You are, however, restricted to choosing just the attributes from the selected hierarchy. After selecting the attribute, you can qualify on ID or create an element list filter.

  • Choose from an attribute element list allows you to apply qualifications to an attribute form. You can choose an attribute from a list of attributes and qualify on the elements of the attribute.

  • Value prompt allows you to select a single value on which to qualify such as a date, a specific number, or a specific text string.

  • Qualify on an attribute allows you to apply qualifications to an attribute form. You can choose an attribute from a list of attributes and qualify on an attribute form.
