To use a value prompt in a report:
1.
Create a new report or open an existing report in Design view.
2.
Drag either an attribute (such as Day, for a date value prompt) or a metric (for a numeric value prompt) to the Filter pane.
3.
Locate the value prompt, right-click it and select Add to Filter.
4.
Click Apply.
For example, a value-prompted attribute qualification on Day is shown below:
5.
Run the report and answer the value prompt.
As you have seen, to use the value prompt on a report, you need to include it in an attribute qualification or metric qualification filter. The benefit to creating the value prompt from scratch within the Prompt Editor is that you now have a reusable value prompt object that you can apply to multiple qualification filters and reports.
You also have the option to define value-prompted filters directly in the Filter Editor (either in the standalone Filter Editor or the Filter Editor within an open report.) For more information on this method, see the “Filters in Eloqua Insight” lesson .
