Add a Prompt Button

 

Add prompt buttons so that users can submit selected items, cancel a report, or navigate between pages.

When you are building prompts and prompt pages , you may have to add a prompt button to submit selections. Some prompt controls, such as the value prompt, can be set to submit selections automatically. Other prompt controls, such as the date prompt, require a prompt button.

  1. Pause the pointer over the page explorer button and click the report or prompt page that contains the prompt control for which you want to add a prompt button.
  2. From the Toolbox tab, drag Prompt Button to the work area.
