Description:
Prompts ask users to enter information. For Web Intelligence documents, this information may determine what data appears in the document. For example, in a document that is used by sales, there may be a prompt that asks the user to choose a region. When the user chooses a region, the document displays the results for that specific region instead of displaying the results for all of the regions in the document.
