3.Click on the dots right of the datamodule American time use
4.Select create report
5.Select blank template
6.Select Pages tab on the left dark pane
7.Click on Prompt pages
8.Select Toolbox tab on the left dark pane

10.Double click on this new created page
11.Open prompting dropdown in the toolbox.
12.Now you see that there is no Search and select prompt available.
