Overriding a Selection Step With a Column Prompt

Use the following procedure to create a selection step with a column prompt override. You can override a selection step with either a dashboard or an analysis prompt. For example, you can specify that the Products.Brand selection step be overridden with a column prompt specifying the BizTech and FunPod members.

The following list provides examples of overriding selection steps with prompts when the user selects groups or column members:

• One or more groups, such as My Regions and My Cities, can override a selection step only of the Add type.

• One or more members, such as Central and Eastern, can override a selection step of any type.

• One or more groups and one or more members, such as My Regions and Central, can override a selection step of any type. However, groups are ignored and members are supported.
