Prompt within prompt question (3 prompts total)

[bridgeconsultant]

Hello,

I have a need to present to an end user in the web 3 prompts:

Prompt 1: Supplier Category

Prompt 2: Supplier name search(text value prompt - like % statement) wich only looks at suppliers from the supplier category chosen in prompt 1.

Prompt 3: Shopping cart that allows you to choose results of your text search from prompt 2.

Prompt within prompt does not work with value prompts. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I think this should work...
Create your prompt 3 as follows.

1. Create a hierarchy with just the Supplier attribute.
2. Filter the Supplier Attribute from the hierarchy editor using the Supplier Name Search filter.

This combines Prompt 2 and 3. Users will enter the supplier name string, then the 3rd prompt should populate based on the string search.

Thanks but what about Supplier Category?

I got this to work.

1) Make "Supplier Category" element prompt that lists all elements no restrictions
2) Make "Supplier Name enter like" filter

3) combine 1 & 2 in filter named "Inner Prompt"

4) Create elements prompt that uses attribute Supplier Name that uses "Inner Prompt" filter to filter elements

The trick is that #1 and #2 above are independent of each other - no restrictions on #1. Then combine the two in a filter which in turn is used in the final prompt.
