Is a parameter prompts record considered a separate master file?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. It's always a separate master file
• D. It's considered part of the report template for most purposes

Answer: (D)

A parameter prompts record is metadata that defines how a report collects input from users, including what prompts appear, their data types, and default values. Because this input-collection logic travels with the report’s design and directly influences how the report runs, it’s treated as part of the report template. It isn’t managed as a separate master file in most workflows; instead, it’s embedded with the template so that duplicating, sharing, or deploying the template brings along the prompts exactly as designed. There can be edge cases where prompts are handled in a more modular way, but for typical administration tasks, these prompts are considered part of the report template.
