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.

what is mean by lov?

I have two data providers with common dimension and measures. The only difference between two data providers is in condition 'Fiscal Year'.One data provider calculates for current year and other one calculates for previous year. So in prompts if I am passing 2008 as current year then the two data providers should be able to calculate for current year and previous year individually. So Can anybody tell me how to do calculation in data providers. ( I am using BO WebI report )
