Prompts in Query Manager
In myHR Query Manager, prompts allow users to change criteria parameters each time the report runs
without having to edit the query. For instance, a query author can set up a prompt for employee ID.
Each time the report runs, the user has to enter an employee ID and the report only shows data for that
employee.
