Report prompts

A prompt is a report element that asks for parameter values before the report is run. Prompts act as
questions that help you to customize the information in a report to suit your own needs. The resulting
report content is based on the parameter values.
If a report contains prompts, you might be prompted to select or enter values when you add the report to
the workspace, depending on the prompt settings that the report author or system administrator
specified.

When you save the workspace, the selected or entered prompt values are also saved as part of the
workspace. When you open a workspace that contains prompted report objects, the saved prompt values
are used and you are not required to re-enter the prompt values.

If you refresh the workspace or the report widget, the report objects run, and the most recent live data or
saved output is retrieved from the content store. You are not required to re-enter any prompt values for
any prompted report content. The saved prompt values are used.

You can insert the complete prompt page of a report in the content pane. If the prompts all appear in the
content pane but some prompts do not appear in the workspace when you add the prompt page to the
workspace, contact the report author. The report author must name each object in the report.

You can change the prompt values for report content regardless of the default prompt settings that are
specified for the report. The report is run and live data is filtered and returned based on the selected
prompt value or values. For more information, see Changing the prompt values in a report.

The Prompt Again action is only available on live reports. If you are viewing a saved output version of a
report, you must first view the live version of the report before you can access the Prompt Again action.
For more information, see Report versions.
