If the report is designed with prompts, those prompts are displayed when you preview the report. You must respond to the prompt and provide the requested information by selecting members from the prompt list. You can also edit the prompts manually. If the prompts contain alias names, you can edit the alias names by converting to member names. For more information on defining prompts, see Selecting Members for Report Designers.
To respond to a prompt when previewing:
Under the Selection column in the Respond to Prompts dialog box, perform an action:
If the member is known, enter the member name in the text box for the respective prompt. If the text box is disabled, the prompt contains alias names. To edit the text box, select the Edit Member Names check box. If multiple members are provided for the prompt, members must be separated by commas.
Click the Go to Member Selection button. The Select Members dialog box opens. The default member is listed in the right panel - selected area. Click the Add to Selected arrow and Remove from Selected arrow located in the center panel of the dialog to move members between the panels.
