Prompt type property

The Prompt Type property sets the type of prompt control that is generated when the report is run, such as an edit box or a pull-down list.

The default value for this property is Server Determined.

Note: Prompt types set on attributes are now processed. The report user will see the prompt that matches the prompt type on the attribute. Because prompt types on attributes were not processed in the previous release, some differences may occur.

Value	Prompt Control
Server Determined	The type of prompt control is based on information in the server, such as the data type of the query item.
Edit Box	A simple text box. If the data type of the column is date or dateTime, this value generates a date or date-time control as well as the text box.
Select Date	A date control with a calendar interface.
Select Date/Time	A date-time control with a calendar interface. For SAP BW metadata, this value is not relevant.
Select Interval	A date-time interval control. For SAP BW metadata, this value is not relevant.
Select Time	A time control that filters data based on the selected time period. For example, if you define a Select Time prompt for Order Time, the user can use the time control to show all orders placed after 1:00, or all the orders placed between 10:00 and 11:00. If you are referring to a time member, you must use the exact values only. If you are using a range, the end points of the range must correspond to values in the data source.
Select Value	A drop-down list.
Select with Search	A list control so that users can search for values. For SAP BW metadata, this value is not relevant.
Select with Tree	A tree prompt control for prompts that are based on a hierarchy node.
