In the Query Explorer, drag the field that will require 
a criteria prompt into the filter. 
Place ‘?’ around a statement that you want to appear 
when the user is prompted. 
Prompt page is not necessary unless you want to 
display the prompt options in a more user friendly 
fashion or add text to explain the prompt.
Go to the page explorer. 
Drag a new page. 
Double click on the page and use the toolbox to drag 
text boxes and formatting items over to the page. Add 
text to explain the prompt.
Decide on the type of prompt and drag it into your prompt 
page. Most often you will use one of these… 
 Text box prompt 
 Value prompt 
 Date prompt 
 Interval prompt 
Within each prompt type there are options to fine tune the 
prompt for specific purposes. These options can be chosen in 
the properties pane to on the left of your screen. 
 Value prompts can be multi-select select so that users may enter 
more than one value. For example, a list of Medicaid IDs or a list of 
provider IDs.
If you have already created a prompt in your query 
filter using ‘?’ you must link that parameter to the 
prompt you dragged into the prompt page. 
When you drag the prompt into the page, a prompt 
wizard will pop up. 
or 
Select an associated prompt in the properties pane.
If you have several queries that will use the same 
prompt criteria, you can use one prompt to pass 
that data to each query. For example… 
Dates. Three queries pull different datasets but all data 
will need to be State Fiscal Year. 
List of client or provider identification numbers. 
In the query filter, pull in the field that will 
require a prompt. Choose the parameters tab and 
drag the prompt parameter that you would like to 
pass
Create a subquery in the same way you would pass 
a parameter. 
 First create a query which the second query will 
reference. Example, list of clients who are currently 
eligible for BCCP. 
 Second create the main query pulling the data you need. 
Pull in the field that will reference the first query. 
Example – client ID. 
 In the filter options, click the queries tab. 
Find your first query and pull the correlating field. For 
example – [HDR Client ID] in ([Entitlement Verification]. 
[Client ID])
