Entering Runtime Prompts

When launched, a business rule can prompt you to enter variable information, called a runtime prompt. The business rule designer sets up runtime prompts.

Notes:

If a business rule has a runtime prompt and Use Members on Forms is selected, the default member on the runtime prompt window matches the current member in the page or POV axes of the open data form.
The Use Members on Forms option supports runtime prompts having single-member selections only. If the business rule has several runtime prompts for the same dimension, all the prompts are pre-filled with values from the context, even if the runtime prompts were defined as hidden or the Hide Prompt option is selected on the Business Rule Properties tab.
Members and system variables on the Member Selection page are filtered by your access permissions and limitations set for the runtime prompt (for example, only Descendants of Q1). You cannot select a shared member in a runtime prompt.

To enter a runtime prompt:

Launch a business rule having a runtime prompt.

Enter or select the input type specified by the runtime prompt, summarized in the following table:

Icon	Expected Input Type
	One member selection
	Multiple member selections
	Numeric value (either entered or selected from cell drop-down menu)
	Text value—use only with enhanced calc scripts, not with graphical scripts
	Dimension from the database—use only with enhanced calc scripts, not with graphical scripts
	For Calculation Manager business rules only: A member or member combination that includes only one member from each dimension the designer has set for this runtime prompt (for example: Sales -> Actual -> Jan refers to the member intersection of Sales, Actual, and January)
	For Calculation Manager business rules only: A range of members, selectable from each dimension the designer has set for this runtime prompt (for example: IDescendants(“Marketing”),FY08)

Ensure that the runtime prompts are valid. You cannot launch a business rule until all runtime prompt values are valid.

Click Launch.
If the calculation is successful, the values in the database reflect the calculation results.
