Prompted Information Link Example 


Information links may include more than one column with prompts. In this case each filter will reduce the data table, so that subsequent prompts may present fewer values. (This can be overridden by using prompt groups.) Consider the following example:

This is the data as it would look if no filters were being applied:

Name

Salary

Location

Prompt: None

Range

Multiple selection

Miller

1300

New York

King

1400

New York

Clark

700

New York

Ford

1100

Dallas

Adams

900

Dallas

Scott

1300

Dallas

Jones

1200

Dallas

James

800

Chicago

Turner

1000

Chicago

As the information link is opened, Salary will be filtered first (the order is set in the Information Link tab).

The user enters the limits 1100 to 1300. After the first filter, the following remains:

Name

Salary

Location

Prompt: None

Range

Multiple selection

Miller

1300

New York

Ford

1100

Dallas

Scott

1300

Dallas

Jones

1200

Dallas

Several rows, including all Chicago employees, have been filtered out. This means that when the Location filter is shown, Chicago will not be presented as an option:
