Second Prompt values based on First Prompt

[system]

Hi All,

I would like to know how to customise the prompts in WebI so that the second prompt values are based on first prompt.

For exampls in my case I want to have 2 prompts one is ‘Region’ and the other is ‘City’. I want have prompts in such a way that in the first prompt Region If I select Region as “Central” then the second prompt should only provide to user ‘Cities’ that belong to Central.

The second prompt list of values should change based upon the first prompt.

Can somebody suggest me the best method of doing so…

Thanks in advance
