Numeric DTP

Defines a number. For example, you could use a Numeric DTP in a formula.

To create an Numeric design-time prompt:

  1. In the Template Designer, open an existing template or create a new template.
  2. On the Design Time Prompt tab, click Add button.
  3. If you already have design-time prompts defined for the template, select where to enter the new design-time prompt.

  4. Enter the following information:

    • Enter a Name and select Numeric as the Type.
    • Select the desired options:

      • Prompt It?—Select this option to allow the DTP to be used in a step. The DTP is shown in the template steps that prompt users for input when the template is used in a rule, or when a script template is launched in Oracle Hyperion Planning.

      • Mandatory?—Select this option to make it mandatory to enter data for the design-time prompt.

      • Read Only—Select this option to make it so that users can only read the prompt.

    • In DTP Text, enter the text that you want users to see when they are prompted for input.

      If you select Prompt It?, then DTP Text is required.

    • Optional. In Default Value, click Select button, then select DTP, and then select a DTP value.
