Answer / preetham

Prompts is the feature in universe design for creating
interactive object. It is well known as dynamic filter.
We add @prompt syntax in @select within the object
properties and export to WebI.

@select(class/object)=@prompt
('message', 'A/N/D', 'values1,2..n', 'class/object', 'mono/m
ulti, free/constrained/primary or foriegn key(in case
defined index awareness), 'persistent/not-persistent')

where A=alphanumeric, N=non-alphanumeric, D=in case of date
persistent means last used values.

Hence this condition enables to pop out thereby prompting
to each window.( region > country wise > state > city etc)

cascading prompts are used to prompts within a prompt ie
the options of prompt added. They are created in tools >
cascading lov > add lov's > add conditions for prompt >
click ok.

I am working on Business Objects-reporting side. Database is Teradata. I have two questions here: 1. We will be working only on Infoview on QA environment. Do I need to add ODBC entries for the QA database server on my machine to be able to create/refresh Infoview reports? I will not be using Desk_I or Web_I rich client. 2. Once reports are developed,Admin team would migrate the reports to Production and make these available to business users. The reports are Refresh on Open. Would the business users need to have the ODBC entries of Production database server in their machines to be able to refresh these reports?
