About Runtime Prompts

When launched, business rules can prompt users for such variables as members, text, dates, or numbers. Prompts should be specific and tell users what type of data is expected. For example:

• Select a month.

• Enter the expected number of customer visits per quarter.

• What percentage change in earnings do you expect next month?

If, in Calculation Manager, the option Create dynamic members is selected for the business rule and the parent member is enabled for adding dynamic children, then users can create new members by entering their name in the runtime prompt.

When launching business rules with runtime prompts, the application validates the value entered, but not the business rule. To set the default member selection in a runtime prompt, see Setting Business Rule Properties. To understand how other settings and conditions affect runtime prompts, see Understanding Runtime Prompts.
