Task Syntax
Answer a Value
prompt
Use all prompt
answers from the
source document,
and apply them to
the target report or
document
Reprompt the target
report or document
Set the target
document’s
selectors to the
same values as the
source document’s
selectors
valuePromptAnswers=value
Replace value with the answer for the Value prompt. This value can be a date,
number, or text string.
You can answer multiple Value prompts by separating each answer with a caret
(^). For example:
valuePromptAnswers=1000^20^1/1/2010
To skip a Value prompt answer, use a caret, without anything else. For example:
valuePromptAnswers=^1/1/2010
Note: Because of the convention for signifying unanswered prompts, you cannot
answer a Value prompt with an empty string using a link URL.
promptsAnswerXML={&PROMPTXML}
The prompts in the linked report or document must be the same physical prompt
objects with the same IDs as the prompts in the document containing the link. If
the prompts are contained in filters, use links to filters instead of embedded filter
prompts. For more information on links to filters, see the MicroStrategy Advanced
Reporting Guide.
showprompts=1
prevMsgID=0
Note the following:
• The selectors must be attribute selectors, with the selection type Include.
• The values of a selector in the source document are applied to all the selectors
in the target that are based on the same attribute. For example, if the source
document has a selector based on Category, and the current selection is
Books, all the selectors in the target that are based on Category are set to
Books.
To obtain the ID of a specific attribute element in a document
1 To obtain the ID of a specific element in an attribute, you must first
obtain the ID of the attribute. Navigate to the folder location of the
attribute.
2 Right-click the attribute, then select Properties. The Properties dialog
box is displayed, with the attribute's ID displayed in the ID field.
3 Highlight the ID, then copy it to the clipboard.
4 Open the document that contains the attribute in Editable Mode.
