Creating Steps for Design-Time Prompts
Use the Template Wizard Designer to create steps for the template. The wizard enables you to decide what design-time prompts to display in each step, whether to display or hide a step (enabling conditions), and whether to display error or warning messages.(validation conditions).
To create steps for design–time prompts:
- On the Design Time Prompt tab, click
. - In the Template Wizard Designer, click
to create a step in the wizard. - In the Enabling Conditions tab, enter information about whether to display or hide the step:

-
In DTP, click
to select a DTP or function.
-
In Operator, select an operator from the drop-down.
-
In Value, enter or select a value for the condition.
Repeat these steps until you define all of the statements in the condition. To add rows, click the plus icon (+) in last row.
