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:
- Enter or select the input type specified by the runtime prompt, summarized in the following table:
Table 21-1 Runtime Prompts and Expected Input
Icon Expected Input Type 
One member selection
To add dynamic members, manually type the new member name in the Runtime Prompts text box, and then click Launch.
Multiple member selections
Numeric value (either entered or selected from cell drop-down menu)
Text value—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts
Dimension from the database—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts
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)
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.
