Report prompts
When you run a report, a Prompts window opens, which includes with a list of prompts that are associated with the report and values that you can associate with the prompts. These values control the type of data that is included in the report and the time period for which data is collected for the report. Prompts are often required to run a report. If a prompt is optional, it is indicated next to the prompt.
If you do not specify a prompt value, a default value is applied. For example, all devices are included in reports unless you provide prompt values that filter the data to include devices that meet your specifications.
