A prompt is a MicroStrategy object that allows user
interaction at report run time.
The user is asked during the report execution to provide an answer to
complete the information.
Uses:
Prompts are useful to keep the number of objects in a project
small, as they allow you to define how you would like to view
things in the report environment instead of providing a
separate report for each option.

Prompts in MicroStrategy are used for Manipulating data in report while executing it. For Ex. If there is a report with attribute region and Profit Metrics and having a prompt on region attribute. While running that report it will prompt the user to select the regions like Asia, Europe.. Etc, if the user select Asia, the report will display the profit if Asia only. If next time you need profit of Europe u will run same report and choose the Europe region in the prompt.
