Search and Select Prompt: A search and select prompt allows users to search for and select values from a predefined list. Users can enter search criteria to filter the list of values.
Generated Prompt: A generated prompt is a dynamic prompt that is generated by the report itself. The values of the prompt are determined by the results of a query. This type of prompt is useful when you want to allow users to select values that are not known ahead of time.
