Customizing a Prompt Toolbar for Dashboards

  1. In the Data box, click Add. The List Value dialog box appears.

  2. In the Label field, enter the option name as you want it to appear to dashboard users.

  3. In the Value field, enter the parameter source name. For example, using the Steel Wheels sample, enter Classic Cars.

  4. Add labels and values for each parameter you want to filter. Click Close to exit the List Value dialog box. If you are filtering an Analyzer report and using a static list, you can add the option All by creating a new Label-Value-Combination called “All” with the Value “All”. This option drops the filter from the report and shows all values.

  5. In the Control Properties box, under Initially Selected: choose which item you want to appear first in the prompt list. Choose Use First Value to set the default to the first value in the list, or you can choose Specify if you want a specific value to appear first.

  6. Click OK.

  7. In the Objects pane, choose the title of the report you want to filter. Click the Parameters tab and choose the correct Source for the parameter from the list. The source should be the name of your prompt.

  8. Click Save.
