In Layout edit : Make block appear as an entity in the Axis Settings

Nicolas CHIGROS

Hi everyone,

The Idea :

The list of blocks in the layout should be manage like an entity in the layout editor. These would enable to do report as shown below very easily :



Example of configuration in the layout editor :



These would be especially useful when comparing 2 set of data (like version) in 2 different cube or in the same cube but you are forced to used reference. 

Workaround(s) :

There is many workaround like create a cube and an entities  which can loaded it using dataflow, a layout + rule with datapicking, even nexel and crossview. Sometimes you can even use "detail by" but if you don't already have a rules.

However to my knowledge, all required more works, create more object therefor more maintenance is the long run and make ad-hoc analysis harder for end-user.
