QUESTION:
Is "Prompt" a supported object type with Visual Insight dashboard created with Direct Data Access option? No prompt objects are listed as available when navigated into Prompts folder using Visual Insight editor with "Browse All Objects" option as shown below:
ANSWER:
While Prompt is not a supported Object type when Visual Insight is created with Direct Data Access (Live), a metric can be created with a prompt embedded with which, the users get prompted to select an answer. For example,
1. Create a filter defined with an attribute element prompt with Quarter attribute.
2. Create a metric with the filter.
3. Select the metric in Visual Insight
4. Notice that the prompt page displayed and the user can select a quarter prior to the execution of Visual Insight with Direct Data Access option.
5. And the Visual Insight still havs "Live" option enabled.
6. "Re-prompt" option is also available under "File" menu.
