Create a new report object from within the Central Management Console
portal.

In all of these cases, these actions are carried out on the prompt object in
your unmanaged report:

List-of-values objects that are defined in the report are converted to
repository lists of values. A Business View, Business Element, Data
Foundation, and Data Connection object is created.

If the same list-of-values object already exists in the repository, no
duplicate object is created. Instead, your report references the existing
list-of-values object.

List-of-values objects that are repository-based are unchanged.

Prompt groups that are defined in the report are converted to repository
prompt groups.

Prompt groups that are repository-based are unchanged.

All of the new repository-based Business View objects, list-of-values
objects, and prompt-group objects are created in the repository folder
called Dynamic Cascading Prompts.

Deploying managed reports with dynamic prompts

Repository-based lists of values and prompt groups are repository objects
like any other. When managed reports are migrated from one repository to
another using the Import Wizard, the list-of-values and prompt-group objects
are imported as well. This functionality makes it easy to migrate reports from
system to system. BusinessObjects Enterprise tracks the objects that a report
depends on, and imports these objects to the destination system if needed.

Business Views Manager has been enhanced to support the import and
export of lists of values and prompt groups. For more information, see the
Business Views Administrator's Guide.

Deleting parameter fields

There are several methods for deleting parameters within a report. The type
of parameter you are deleting determines the method you can use.
