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

To enter a runtime prompt:

  1. Launch a business rule having a runtime prompt.
  2. Enter or select the input type specified by the runtime prompt, summarized in the following table:

    Table 15-1 Runtime Prompts and Expected Input

    Icon Expected Input Type

    runtime prompt one member selection

    One member selection

    runtime prompt one member selections

    Multiple member selections

    runtime prompt numerical value

    Numeric value (either entered or selected from cell drop-down menu)

    runtime prompt text value

    Text value—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts

    runtime prompt dimension

    Dimension from the database—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts

    runtime prompt cross dimension

    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)

    runtime prompt range of members

    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.

  3. Click Launch.

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