prompt for specific purposes. These options can be chosen in
the properties pane to on the left of your screen.

more than one value. For example, a list of Medicaid IDs or a list of
provider IDs.

that data to each query. For example…

will need to be State Fiscal Year.

require a prompt. Choose the parameters tab and

a parameter.
First create a query which the second query will

Pull in the field that will reference the first query.
Example – client ID.
In the filter options, click the queries tab.
Find your first query and pull the correlating field. For
example – [HDR Client ID] in ([Entitlement Verification].
