Setting up prompts for paginated reports

Amazon QuickSight authors can create prompts on pixel-perfect reports to allow dashboard users to filter data in on-demand and scheduled reports. Prompts behave the same way a filter or control behaves in an interactive sheet.

To define a prompt in a paginated report
  1. On a paginated sheet, define a filter control or a parameter control. For more information on filter controls to sheets, see Adding filter controls to analysis sheets. For more information on parameter controls, see Using a control with a parameter in Amazon QuickSight.

  2. In the new filter or parameter, choose the prompt values that you want. The new prompts are immediately reflected on the sheet.

  3. To export the report with the new prompts, choose File, and then choose Export to PDF.

Prompts can't be moved to the sheet itself. Instead, they are displayed on the top panel.

After a prompt is created for a pixel-perfect report and is published as a dashboard, QuickSight authors can use the new prompt to configure and schedule reports that are sent to QuickSight dashboard viewers. Dashboard viewers can also use these prompts to create their own scheduled reports. For more information about reader generated reports, see Creating a reader generated report in Amazon QuickSight.
