In the 'Server List', there is a small blue circle with a 1-2-3 and when you mouse over you will see 'Prompt Manager'.
When adding a new prompt, you have the ability to name it, describe it, and specify options.
There is a MUCH longer list of prompt types available for you to use in the 'Prompt Type and Values' tab.
All of the prompts change the subsequent selections on the screen.
My favorite (date range) allows a wide range of options for the user (see below):
The next 'slick' item is that there is a 'Used By' column in the Prompt Manager screen. Providing the prompt manager a quick take on how the prompt is being used, as changes could negatively affect reports that are using it.

Angela, we should note that this feature in EG applies to "project prompts" - prompts that are used within the current project, and not "shared prompts" as they are known in the metadata-enabled world.
Shared Prompts are prompts that are registered in metadata; in practice, stored processes are the one place that they can be used universally across applications.
Project prompts exist only in the current EG project. They can be "promoted" to stored process prompts when you create a stored process from a program or flow in your project. But EG doesn't let you create Shared Prompts.
