Hi,
Is there a way assigning display order to prompts designed in universe?
Currently I have achieved it though appending numeric numbers like 1, 2...at the begining of the prompt text. But when I added a new prompt it is coming in between of the existing prompts where as I have already added a numeric value to it.
For ex: I have following 4 existing prompts.
1. Select Granularity
2. Enter Data/Time
3. Select Network View
4. Select BSC Name
The new prompt I have designed as 5. Select Time Zone Offset. Now this prompt is coming in between 3. Select Network View and 4. Select BSC Name prompt.
I am surprised with this behavior. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks,
Sus.

Hi Experts,
I have a similar issue. I have created 2 prompts at universe level
1)start date
2)End date
Report is prompting in the correct order as I gave number as prefix, but when I view the webi report on the left hand side under "User Prompt input" its displayin End date first and then Start Date.
Can you please help me to resolve this ?

In WEBI goto EDIT QUERY on the lefthand side of the QUERY Panel you will get 2 TABs
DATA and PROPERTIES
In properties TAB you have prompt order over there you can define the order.

Hello,
the 'user:xx' syntax is reserved for WebI. It is not a supported syntax in the Universe (it is not a bug, there are some situations where fixing the order in the Universe could make some queries not possible and the goal of the query panel is to allow any query to run).
The correct way to define the prompt order is as described in the last post by Satyanarayan.

If this is the case then "Prompt Order works as per the user:xx parameter in @prompt". As user:xx is reserved for Webi only, we can not use it in the universe while designing the prompts and can not achieve the prompt display order.
That's why I have appended the Numeric numbers in the prompts message to achieve the order, but the behavior is different in some cases.
For Ex:
@Prompt('1. Select granularity','A',{'Weekly','Daily','Hourly'},mono,constrained,persistent)
@Prompt('2. Enter date/time(mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss)','D',,mono,free,persistent)
@prompt('3. Select Network View','A','Radio Error\NV Names Path',Mono,constrained,Persistent)
@Prompt('4. Select BSC Name','A','RE BSC Dim\Ref BSC Name',mono,constrained,persistent)
@Prompt('Select Time Zone Offset','A','Time Shift\Time Zone Offset',mono,constrained,persistent)
I expect that the 'Select Time Zone Offset' prompt should come at the end as numeric values have higher priority. But I am getting this in between '3. Select Network View' and '4. Select BSC Name'.
I don't know why:(
Even I tried the 'Select Time Zone Offset' prompt message by appending a number like ''5. Select Time Zone Offset'. Then also it is getiing displayed in between 3rd and 4th prompt.

Hi Sus,
The last parameter in the @prompt command is user:# where # is the order of the prompts. This will control the order of the prompts coming from the universe. It does not control the order of prompts created in the report.

Hi Alan,
I am getting the parsing error "Invalid universe definition" in the universe while giving the last parameter.
Following is the code snippet:
@Prompt('1. Select granularity','A',{'Weekly','Daily','Hourly'},mono,constrained,persistent,,user:1)
I think it is a known issue with the universe.
Is there any other way to assign the display order?
Thanks,
Sus.
