Using Prompts 


To specify filter parameters during retrieval:

  1. Open an information link that contains prompts.

    Response: The system will begin to retrieve data. For each column with a prompt (see Adding Prompts) a dialog will appear, asking you to specify the filter conditions for this column.

  2. Enter the filter conditions that you want to apply.

    Comment: If you are using the Multiple selection or Single selection prompt methods, then you will find that only values that have not been eliminated by previous filter conditions (in the same prompt group) are shown.

  3. Click Next >, or Finish when you have come to the last column.

    Response: The data is retrieved and displayed in Spotfire.

Note: Dialogs are displayed in the order the columns appear in the Information Link tab. In other words, the first column for which a prompt has been added will be the first to display a dialog.
