12.3 Creating Prompts for Variable Names

The previous two sections showed how to create a prompt for a data value and then use it in the filter condition of a query. This section shows how you can create a prompt for a variable name, and the next section shows how you can use this prompt in a task. This example creates a prompt that will allow a user to choose a grouping variable when a task is run.

To create a prompt, click the Prompt Manager icon in the Resources pane, or select View Prompts Manager from the menu bar. The Prompt Manager will open. Click Add to open the Add New Prompt window.
