Therefore, attributes are the objects that provide descriptive information from the data warehouse for display on a report.
3.
Which of the following objects enables users to select the information to be included in a report or document at run time?
Correct Answer
C. Prompt
Explanation
A prompt is an object that allows users to select the information they want to include in a report or document at the time it is being run. It provides a user interface where users can input their preferences or criteria, such as selecting specific data or applying filters, which then determines the content of the report or document. Prompts are commonly used in reporting and document generation tools to give users flexibility and control over the output they receive.
