Transfer Screen Selection (Different Linked Data Models)

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all,

Is it possible to transfer selection from one screen to another screen when the two screens are using 2 different data models (e.g. from a GCR screen to a separate Reporting screen) ?

I understand that it's easy to transfer screen selections if the source and target screen are using the same data model.

Hello,

there is no built in way to move selections from DataModel A to DataModel B.

What you can do is used "shared" rolap cubes for this purpose, so that rolap cubes both DataModels are linked to the same relational Table, which is used for Select Based on or dynamic selection

Hi @Efraim ,

you can find information on how to create an RDB cube in our manual

https://help.board.com/docs/creating-a-cube?highlight=RDB

The cube needs to have the entity you want to apply the selection on as dimension so that you can use the "select based on cube".

Then you'll need a procedure that flags the entity selected in the source DB with a 1 and a procedure in the target DB that flags the target entity.

Best,
Helmut
