Answer / preetham

Prompts is the feature in universe design for creating
interactive object. It is well known as dynamic filter.
We add @prompt syntax in @select within the object
properties and export to WebI.

@select(class/object)=@prompt
('message', 'A/N/D', 'values1,2..n', 'class/object', 'mono/m
ulti, free/constrained/primary or foriegn key(in case
defined index awareness), 'persistent/not-persistent')

where A=alphanumeric, N=non-alphanumeric, D=in case of date
persistent means last used values.

Hence this condition enables to pop out thereby prompting
to each window.( region > country wise > state > city etc)

cascading prompts are used to prompts within a prompt ie
the options of prompt added. They are created in tools >
cascading lov > add lov's > add conditions for prompt >
click ok.
