Hello Gurus,

Im trying to learn how to use the @prompt(),
Can I create an object that prompts another object’s values?

.

Can you please explain?

see the format

prompt Object = @PROMPT(‘Enter the text’,‘A’,‘lov’,MULTI,FREE)

You can customize according to your requirement.

A- Alpha numeric
D-date
N- Number

Multi - to select multiple values
Mono- To select a single value

Free- you can write you own/you can also select
constrained- you need to select from set of values.

Thanks,

Ranjan

thanks for explaining me the parameters

Im trying to make an prompt that list values generated out of another object, is this posible?
for instance in the values parameters of the prompt function, if I referneced an object already created, will this values appear on the prompt?

if it is, how am I suppost to use the prompt function, I have tried this

on an object on the select statement

@prompt(‘Select value’,‘A’,‘attributes/concept_name’,mono,constrained)

don’t put it in the select statement.

create a condition object and try yours and put that condition object in the condition pane of query panel.

@prompt('Select value','A','attributes/concept_name',mono,constrained)

The code is fine. create a condition object to achieve this.

Thanks,

select the particular class where you want to put up the object then
insert-> condition, name the condition

put that prompt in that object and make parse.

prompt object comes in where clause of sql query.

Thanks,
