PromptSet Header/Text Elements
Header/Text elements display text for a section header for a group of prompts. They cannot be used to pass values like prompts do.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Label |
The field description. |
| Variable Name |
The name of the PromptSet variable that executable objects will create each time they run this prompt. A PromptSet variable is a form of a Script Variable that is defined in prompt and used in the executable object's Process Pages. PromptSet variables can be used similarly to Object variables. They can be modified, inherited etc. PromptSet variable names are written in uppercase and specified with a leading & and a closing #. When you add a prompt to the PromptSet, the PromptSet variable is given a default name, which you can change. |
| Tooltip | Additional information about the element that is displayed as a tooltip. |
| Custom Field |
This is an additional field in which you can enter any text of your choice. It does not affect the functionality of the PromptSet element. |
The image below shows a PromptSet which has been assigned to a Job object and has been executed . It includes:
- A header labeled Dates.
- Two date prompts labeled Yesterday and Today.
These prompts use database variables (in this case SQLI) as there default values. Thus, the dates for yesterday and today are pre-populated. When the job is run automatically (for example when run via a schedule), it uses these dates. When users execute the Job manually and the prompts are displayed, they can change the date(s).
