Allowing Saved Answers for Prompts

Users may save their answers to a specific prompt, and then reuse the answers on any report that the prompt is used on. Saving answers can save time, for example, when a prompt answer involves complicated metric qualifications. Create them once and reuse them whenever you run the same report, or use them on different reports. Saved answers also provide consistency, to ensure that the same prompt answers are used across a number of reports.

 

Personal answers are saved for each prompt and each user, but they can be used on different reports. Users can save prompt answers without having to save the report itself. Personal answers must be enabled for prompts in the Project Defaults Prompt Settings before you can allow personal answers when creating a prompt.

No personal answers

No personal answers can be saved. Every time a user sees the prompt, it must be answered manually (if it is required) or ignored.

Single personal answer

Only one personal answer can be saved for this report. When the prompt is used again (on this report or a different one), the personal answer is displayed. A user can keep the personal answer, or add or delete selections. They can save their changes as a new personal answer, but only one personal answer can be saved for the prompt.

Multiple personal answers

Multiple personal answers can be named and saved, allowing different answers for the same prompt. When the prompt is used again (on this report or a different one), the personal answers are available. The user can select one of them, or answer the prompt manually.
