Allow Users to Select Multiple Values

 

You can allow users to select more than one value or a range of values in a prompt. For example, you have a prompt for which users must select a product line. You can modify the prompt so that users can select more than one product line.

If you enable multiple selections, the Auto-Submit property is always set to no.

To Allow Users to Select Multiple Values in a Prompt:

  1. Click the prompt control that you want to modify.
  2. In the Properties pane, choose whether to allow users to specify more than one value or a range of values:
  3. To allow users to specify more than one value, set the Multi-Select property to Yes.
  4. To allow users to specify a range of values, set the Range property to Yes.
  1. Pause the point on the page explorer button and go to a report page.
  2. From the Data menu, click Filters .

    If you have more than one query defined in the report, you must first click an object linked to a query. If there is more than one query defined in the report, click an object that is linked to the query you want.
  3. Double-click the filter associated with the prompt.

  5. If you are creating a multi-select prompt, change the operator to in.

    For example, [Product_line] in ?Product line? where [Product_Line] is the name of the data item allows users to select multiple product lines.
  6. If you are creating a range prompt, change the operator to in_range.
  7. For example, [[Margin] in_range ?Margin? where [Margin] is the name of the data item allows users to specify a margin range.
