- Retrieve the Attribute ID of the attribute used in the element list prompt; this can be done by browsing to the attribute object via Developer, right clicking it, and going to Properties.
- Retrieve the ID of the elements that should be used to answer the prompt; this can be done by running the report with the attribute showing the ID form next to the DESC form. The element ID will be a combination of the attribute ID and the element ID separated by a colon.
With the above information:
- Report URL
- Attribute ID
- Element ID
The report link can be created as follows:
