Basic Attributes

tree member 1, 2, 3

Description

Available Values

Default

Empty

Empty tree members are not shown on the value tree.

No, Yes

No

Visible

By setting this attribute to no, the tree member will be hidden. Hiding a tree member can be useful for a calculation step in a formula.

Yes, No

Yes

Custom Description

The custom description overrides the default generated name. You can use either a fixed text or a Dynamic Label Expression

Empty, PopulatedEmptyOrderUse the order attribute to reorder the rows.1, 2, 3...Max + 1
NameThe default name of the item is displayed.n/an/a
FormulaBy specifying a formula this line will be calculated.Empty, PopulatedEmpty

Format

The /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298 will specify the look and feel of the tree member.

Default, Default_bold, Default_left, ...
Default FormatDrillBy assigning a drill list to a row, a drill icon will appear in front of the line in the report. This drill list allows the end-user to drill to that list. If a dimension member of an item is a parent in the dimension hierarchy then the end user can also assign a dynamic drill to an item instead of another list.Empty, PopulatedEmpty

X Coordinate

The X coordinate defines the position of the tree member on the X Axis, see screenshot for the X positions.

0, 1, 2, 3, ...

0

Y Coordinate

The Y coordinate defines the position of the tree member on the Y Axis, see screenshot for the Y positions.

0, 1, 2, 3, ...

0

Unary Operator

The unary operator defines the symbol (See screenshot) in front of each tree member.

+, -, /, *

+

Parent Item

Select a /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776443 so that the tree member will be connected with a line to the parent tree member.

Order

Use the order attribute to reorder the rows.

Format

The /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298 attribute will specify the look and feel of the row. This format is not applied to the header of the row, but only to its values.

Header Format

The header /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298

, defines how the row header should be formatted. The available values are identical with the ones used by the "Format" attribute, but applied only on the row header.

Default, Default_bold, Default Highlighted Header, ...Default Format

Reverse Valuation

When this attribute is set to yes, the Valuation will be reversed. This means negative becomes positive and the other way around. Changing the valuation will influence the variance coloring.

No, YesNo
Label Yes/No No
Width Empty, PopulatedEmpty
Item TypeDisplayes the Type of the ItemNo Data, Data, CommantData
ValuationThe value of the valuation is inherited from the underlying system and cannot be directly changed.n/an/a

Reverse Sign

When this attribute is set to yes, the sign will be flipped.

No, YesNo

Variance ThresholdSuppress Value

Threshold value for the Variance (e.g., Actual vs. Budget). If the Variance is less than the 1st threshold value, then Red (indicating an unfavorable variance) is used. If the Variance is greater than the 2nd threshold value, then Green (favorable variance) is used. And if Variance is between the 2 threshold values, Orange (neutral variance) is used. Use, for example, -200;300 for absolute thresholds or -10%;20% for relative thresholds.

Note: When you redirect to a report of type Multi-Column and that report has the same Value Tree List as an Item Selector, the Multi-Column report will automatically select the tree member where it was redirected from.
