Test the Prefilter and Required Table Assignments

To ensure that the prefilter and required table assignments are working as expected, test the information map again:
  1. On the toolbar, click Run a test query.
  2. In the Test the Information Map dialog box, select Name, Department, Location, Number of Years Employed, and Which department? from the Available items list if they are not already selected.
    Note: The Cary Employees filter is not in the Available items list because you selected Hide from user in the Edit Filter dialog box. The test facility simulates an end-user environment, so it has hidden the filter from you (the end user).
  3. Click Add to populate the Selected items list.
  4. Click Run Test to run a test query that uses the selected items.
  5. In the Prompt Value Specification dialog box, add SAM to the Selected list box. (EDU should already be selected because it is the default value.)
  6. Click OK. The Results dialog box is displayed with the results of the test query. The result set should contain 41 rows. Even though you did not select the Cary Employees filter for the test, the result set contains rows of Cary employees only. The assigned prefilter eliminated the non-Cary information.
