Data Entry with a Select in Layout

Hello,

Is there a workaround on the issue of enabling Data Entry when Select is used in layout (see picture)?

I wanted to select only specific members of an Entity for users to enter data. I don't want to show all the members of the Entity as they are many and we are only expecting input against a specific number of Entity members.

    Hi,

    There are two ways of doing this -

    1. Screen selection instead of layout selection
    2. Use a cube where you put against the items you want to enter data and lock the cells

    Hi @Efraim ,

    @ANKITA SAHA means that you need to set up a filter in the dataview you want to enable data entry on.
    That can be a cube or an algorithm (or both).

    Best,
    Helmut

    Hello Ankita,

    Thanks for the answer!

    I can't use option 1 as I have multiple Dataviews in the screen. Each of them have a specific Selection.

    For option 2, can you please explain it in more details? I'm not sure if I understand it correctly.
