Parameters
The report parameters define the look & feel and behavior of a report. On the screenshot below you can see the parameters numbers. These numbers refer to the parameters as displayed in the Basic Parameters and Advanced Parameters table. Next to basic Basic and advanced parameters Advanced Parameters there are also /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776440
Basic Parameters
Parameter | Description | Mandatory |
---|---|---|
1. Item Selector | A list of items that will be used as a Pick List in the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list. Usually, the Account dimension is used. | Yes |
2. Reference Categories | A list of items that will be used as Reference Categories in the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list (usually Category, Year and/or Period. Formulas are not allowed. | Yes |
3. Benchmark List 1 | A list of items that represent Benchmark group 1 of the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list; usually Entities. | Yes |
Advanced Parameters
Parameter | Description | Mandatory |
---|---|---|
4. Default Selected Item | Indicates the Item from the List that will be selected / highlighted upon opening of the report. If none is selected, the 1st item will be selected. | No |
5. Benchmark List 2 | List of items that represent Benchmark group 2 of the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list; usually Entities. | No |
6. Benchmark List 3 | List of items that represent Benchmark group 3 of the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list; usually Entities. | No |
7. Benchmark List 4 | List of items that represent Benchmark group 4 of the report. Each item can be a combination of members from the dimensions associated with the list; usually Entities. | No |
8. Side Trend | List of items that determines the X-axis of the trend in the Side Trend control (usually associated with the Year and the Period dimension). | Yes |
9. Label Base Category | Dynamic Label that can combine the description of dimension-members and free text. The member-description can be obtained by putting the 3-character dimension abbreviation between square brackets (e.g., [CAT] for the Category dimension). Note: When using free text, don't use the "[" or "]" characters as these are reserved for Dynamic Label Expressions. | Yes |
10. Time Series | List of items that determines the X-axis of the chart; usually a Time-series associated with the Year and the Period dimension. | Yes |
11. Label Benchmark Member | Dynamic Label that can combine the description of dimension-members and free text. The member-description can be obtained by putting the 3-digit dimension abbreviation between square brackets (e.g., [CAT] for the Category dimension). Don't use the [ or ] character in free text. | Yes |
12. Label Benchmark 1 | The label put as an identification of the Benchmark Group | Yes |
13. Label Benchmark 2 | The label put as an identification of the Benchmark Group | No |
14. Label Benchmark 3 | The label put as an identification of the Benchmark Group | No |
15. Label Benchmark 4 | The label put as an identification of the Benchmark Group | No |
16. Breakdown Sorting | Allows the control and sort sequence of variances. Select the appropraite option from the pre defined list. | Yes |
17. Variance Threshold | 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. | Yes |
18. Variance % Around Average | Variation % around the Benchmark average (determines the width of the grey area). | Yes |
