7. You will be taken to the prompt screen for this report. Usually there are mandatory prompts, as indicated by the red asterisk (). Fill those in and then fill in any other required optional prompts which are not marked by an asterisk. For any optional prompt values, they do not have a red asterisk next to them. If you do not pick a value for these prompt values, you will get all values indicated in the box. You can filter the report by picking values here. To pick multiple values, hold the control key down when making your selection. When you have finished making your selection, click the “Finish” button at the bottom of the form.
