Save Options      Back to Previous

 

The save options within TrueStandings Securities allow you to save a report. When saving an object, you may have options for prompts used to specify parameters for the overall report, filter or template. Prompts are used to customize a report or provide default selections for a filter or define the attributes and metrics defined for the template that produces the output dataset.

When you save a report, you are saving the report definition that is comprised of the report filter and report template. The filter setup associated with the report may include prompts that allow you to specify parameters for the filter when the report is executed. If these type of prompts exist, the Save Report dialog will include parameters to save the report as "prompted" and provide additional options for how to save the details of the prompts.
