Reports: Adding prompts to a report, metric, or filter

You need to know what type of prompt you will be using when deciding where and how to add it to a report, a metric, or a filter. For example, Object prompts are most commonly placed directly on a report, but can also be placed in the condition part of a metric's definition in the Metric Editor, depending on the type of object in the Object prompt.
