The prompt details auto text code displays the prompt information for all prompts in the document. The list below provides a summary of the properties you can configure to display the template details auto text code. The properties described also apply to auto-text.
You can configure:
Whether the prompt title and index (a number indicating the order of the prompts in the dataset report) are displayed.
The text to display when a prompt is unanswered. The options are:
Use the default document or report setting for unanswered prompts
Display nothing
Display ”Prompt Not Answered”
Display ”No Selection”
Display
"All/None”
Whether the word ”All” or ”None” displays depends on the type of
prompt. For example, an unanswered object prompt displays as ”None”, because
no objects are selected. An unanswered filter definition prompt displays
as ”All” because the report is not filtered and therefore all the objects
appear on the report.
Whether and how to display the attribute name for the attribute element list prompts in the document. The options are:
Use the default document or report setting for attribute element prompts
Display the attribute name (for example, Region)
Omit the attribute name
Repeat
the attribute name for each prompt answer (for example, Region = North,
Region = South)
Note: The browse form of the attribute, which is displayed
when a user answers the prompt, is used to display the attribute elements
in the prompt details auto text code. For information on browse forms,
see the MicroStrategy Project Design Guide.
Whether to include unused prompts. An unused prompt occurs when you drill on a Grid/Graph that contains a prompt. The resulting child report, which you can use as a dataset report, can display or omit the prompt details from the parent.
Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
Expand the section where you want the auto text code by clicking the plus sign next to the section name.
From the Insert
menu, select Auto Text, then select
the auto text code to insert. The text field is added at the top left
corner of the selected section, although you can move the text field to
any desired position.
Note: To add an auto text code to an existing text field,
edit the text field (select it and press F2) and then add the auto text.
You may need to resize the text field to view the auto text.
To type the auto text code manually, insert a blank text field and type the code within braces { }. As with data fields, if an object's name contains spaces or special characters, enclose it in square brackets [ ] within the braces.
Right-click the auto text code and then click Report Details Properties. The Report Details Properties dialog box opens.
Click the General tab and choose to omit or include the features included in the Prompt Details section.
Click the name of a report with auto-text in its header or footer to execute it.
From the Format menu, select Report Details Properties. The Report Details Properties dialog box opens.
Click the General tab and choose to omit or include the features included in the Prompt Details section.
