Multiple different selections

Peter van Bennekom

I have a few cubes with 5 dimensions . One of the dimensions is Entity_A with members A1 to A12. Screen has three dataviews all showing the same cubes / entities / algorithms. User can click a button (one per dataview) to select the dimension to show - user clicks button for Left and selects for instance A2, user clicks button for Middle and selects A7 etc.

 

How do i make the three dataviews show different values for that dimension? A screen selection would set them for all three. Would "Apply Selection To Layout Block" be the solution or is there something else?

Hi Peter van Bennekom

the Apply Selection To Layout Block placed in a procedure changes the reference of a block where the "Refer to" is applied.

It could be a solution but using the "refer to" option the report becomes less flexible, since the "refer to" works indipendently from the screen selection and a user cannot change it.

 

Now, I should see the dataview and understand how people use this screen to suggest a best fitting solution.

An idea could be:

If the user always select 1 item of Entity_A, you can place the 3 dv in 3 different panels with ATO option enabled. Placing a pager the user can indipendently select different items by each of them

 

hope this helps

You can enter the layout select and change th selection on the element you need.

If you want to use this without entering the layout that's not possible at the moment, except the apply selection to block option.

 

An idea that you might investigate si to put the dataviews on three different panels with ato enabled and put a pager on the three panels on Entity_A
