Is it possible to prompt the user for information, and, based on that information, using a specific prompt in response to that? Can you use user-entered information from one prompt within a second prompt?

when you create a prompt, you also include a phrase to help the user to know what to input (like “What Month?”, “What Company?”, etc). BO treats that phrase as a variable name. So you can refer to the variable “What Month?” and BO will know that you mean the answer to the prompt from earlier in the report.
Hope that helps!

If you are trying to do something like prompt the user for a customer and then show the user a list of parts which are associated with the customer they picked, you can modify your list of values.
In this example, in Designer you would edit the list of values for the part object. In the condition part of the list of values, you would prompt for customer.
In your report, you would put a prompt for part. When the user runs the report, and they click on the values button on the prompt; it will first ask them for a customer. After they select a customer, it will show them all the parts where the customer equals the customer they selected.
