Building prompts
A prompt is a dynamic filter that displays a question every time you refresh
the data in a report. You respond to prompts by typing or selecting the
value(s) you want to view before you refresh the data. Crystal Reports
retrieves only the values you specified from the database and returns those
values to the report.
