  • Key Concepts: 
    Dynamic prompts are a feature of Crystal Reports that allow users to create dynamic filters for their reports. They allow users to select specific values from a list of available values, such as a list of customers or products, and then use those values to filter the report. This makes it easier for users to quickly and accurately create reports that contain only the data they need.
    
    How to Use It: 
    To use dynamic prompts in Crystal Reports, first create a parameter field in the report. This field will be used to store the value that is selected from the prompt. Then, create a dynamic prompt by selecting the parameter field and setting the prompt type to “Dynamic”. Finally, select the values that should be available in the prompt and save the report.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating dynamic prompts, it is important to make sure that the values selected are valid for the report. For example, if you are creating a report on customers, make sure that only customer names are available in the prompt. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the values in the prompt are up-to-date so that users can get accurate results from their reports.
