Example:
Depending on the list dimension chosen for a specific list, one of the first column(s) will be the dimension(s) which is chosen for each item. In the example above, those are Category, Year and Version , Version, Measure, Period and View dimensions.
List Attributes
In this The List of attributes the basic and advanced attributes are listedis letsed below. Additionally, if any values are available for the attribute, a direct link to an example on how this value affects the preview of the report is listed.
Basic AttributesAttributes
List Attribute | Description | Available Values | Default | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Empty | By setting this Order | Use the order attribute to yes, the column will be shown as empty. This means that no data will be queried and only the label/custom description will be showed. | No, Yes | No | |
| Comment | By enabling the comment option, the end user can add custom comments on the whole row. | No, Yes | No | ||
Visible | By setting this attribute to no, the column will be hidden. Hiding a column can be useful for a calculation step in a formula. | Yes, No | Yes | ||
Custom Description | The custom description overrides the default generated column header. You can use either a fixed text or a Dynamic Label Expression. Use the <BR> tag for a line break. | Empty, Populated | Emptyreorder the columns. | 1, 2, 3, ... | Max + 1 |
| Name | The default name of the item is displayed. | n/a | n/a | ||
Formula | By specifying a formula this column will be calculated. | Empty, Populated | Empty | ||
| Drill | By 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, Populated | Empty | ||
Format | The /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298 attribute will specify the look and feel of the column. This format is not applied to the header of the column, but only to its values. | Default, Default_bold, Default_left, ... | Default Format | ||
Width | The width defines the column width in pixels or a % value (a weighting factor against other percentage width columns). If you want to leave the sizing to to the report leave this attribute empty. | Empty, Populated | Empty | ||
Order | Use the order attribute to reorder the columns. | 1, 2, 3, ...Max + 1 |
Advanced Attributes
To access the advanced attributes, the Advanced button marked on the image above should be selected.
List Attribute | Description | Available Values | Default | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Header Format | The header /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298, defines how the column header should be formatted. The available values are identical with the ones used by the "Format" attribute, but applied only on the column header. | Default, Default_left, 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 is possible only when the Valuation is set to Positive or Negative and will influence the variance colouring. If the Valuation is set to "NotSet", the Reverse Valuation cannot be changed. | No, Yes | No | |||
| Valuation | The value of the valuation is inherited from the underlying system and cannot be directly changed. | N/A | N/ALabel | Yes/No | No | |
| Width | Empty, Populated | Empty | ||||
| Item Type | Displayes the Type of the Item | No Data, Data, Commant | Data | |||
Reverse Sign | When this attribute is set to yes, the sign will be flipped. | No, Yes | No | |||
Suppress Value | This value sets automatic column row suppressing, click on the type to see the suppressing options. | None | ||||
Variance Threshold | Threshold value for the Variance (e.g., Actual vs. Budget). If the Variance is less than this Threshold, then a neutral variance color is used (Orange). Otherwise Red (indicating an unfavorable variance) or Green (favorable variance) is used. Use e.g. -200;300 for an absolute threshold or -10%;20% for a relative threshold. | Empty, Populated (examples) | Empty | |||
Suppress Variance | Allows you to set the conditions for not suppressing the Variance, by using a pick list | SuppressNoBaseOrReference | ||||
