    Hi Antoni Theodorou

     

    You can use 'Page' control to allow user selects only one member at the same time, when config the "page' you need to check 'No All'.

    To config the initial selection when open screen, you can  config the selection of the screen use the selection. Or you can make a procedure and use selection action in it, then assign this procedure to the Screen Open Trigger.

    Re second question regarding the Pager - use the 'Select Member' button (shown above in William Le reply). This allows you to choose the member that appears by default in the Pager when you navigate to the screen.

     

    Regarding the first question, you might like to create a cube by just the Entity you would like to select and populate it with a 1 for every member.  Now you will be able to create a procedure (on a button) that gives the user an interactive selection for this Entity together with a logical test:

    • If the user selects more than one entity member then the value in your single dimension cube will be greater than 1, so you can provide a message to the user that they have selected too many entity members (because the value in the cube is >1) and the procedure will exit (and they can then try again).
    • Alternatively, if the user selects a single entity member then the test will pass (i.e. the value in the cube is <=1) so the selection made is valid and applied to your screen.
