Step 6: Adding prompts to the analysis
Prompts allow users to select values that dynamically filter the analysis. We will add a prompt to our analysis so that a user who runs this analysis must specify a date range. We will also allow the user to optionally limit the results to specific campaigns.
Tip: If you are creating this analysis as part of the the Dashboards Tutorial, skip Step 6: Adding prompts to the analysis, or delete the prompts in your analysis before beginning the Dashboards Tutorial. To delete a prompt in an analysis, click on the prompt in the Prompts tab and click
