Building Reports Using the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel 115
When you run the query or refresh the document data, Web Intelligence displays the
prompts.
What objects can I filter with a prompt?
You can define prompts on any dimension, measure, or detail object listed on the Data tab
in Edit Query View.
For example, you can filter the [Year] dimension to return values for a specific year, filter
the [Revenue] measure to return values for a range of revenue figures, or filter the [Postal
Code] detail to return values for a specific postal area.
For an illustrated description and examples of dimensions, measures, and details, see
”What types of objects can you use in a query?” on page 35.
Which operator should I choose?
It is important to understand the effect of each operator available to you when you define
a prompt. The table below lists the operators available for prompts and provides an
example of each operator in the context of a business question:
To obtain
data...
for example... select... to create the filter...
equal to a
value you
specify,
retrieve data for
the US only,
Equal to [Country] Equal to
US.
