Creating a mandatory field in page-level prompts

The following example lists the steps required to make the Product Group prompt as a mandatory prompt:

1. Login to the Oracle Analytics Server application as a user with administrative rights and access to edit the dashboards. Typically, this would be the administrator.
2. Navigate to the folder in the catalog where prompts are saved. Example: Catalog > Shared folders > Retrospective > Case Processing History.
3. In the right navigation pane, click the Edit link to make the change. Example: CP History Page Prompts.
4. Select the field which is to be made mandatory and click the Edit icon (present on the top right of the opened screen), such as the Product Group field selected below.
5. The Edit Prompt dialog appears, with options to customize the prompt. To make the field mandatory, check the Require user input checkbox and click OK.
6. You can verify the change by checking the Required column of the field (Product Group below). Mandatory fields have a tick mark displayed against them. In the Preview window, an asterisk (*) appears before the name of the mandatory field.
7. Save the prompt by selecting the Save icon (highlighted below), present on the top right side of the screen.
8. The column configured for mandatory input is now reflected in the page-level prompt of the respective reports.
