      Set a Selection Prompt to be Required for Reports.

      For some reports, you may opt to require a particular selection prompt to be required, rather it be a customer ID or a date. This article will show you how to do so.

      Some reports may be most useful when ran with a certain filter. Acctivate gives you the option to force a prompt to be required.

      Acctivate Version 12.1:

      1. Go to File -> Manage Reports
      2. Locate the desired report you'd like to modify.
      3. Click the Edit button.
      4. Click on the Selection Prompts tab.
      5. Check the Required box corresponding to the filter you'd like to make required.
        1. Required
      6. Click the save icon.

      Now the next time you run that report you'll be required to enter in criteria for the filter in question.
