Introduction

A reference pick list is a list building block that can be used to select reference categories. Reference categories are used for variance analysis with the main category of a report. Most reports have a reference pick list. Most reference pick lists contain dimensions like:

  • Year
  • Period
  • Category

CONTENT

Table of Contents

And contain values like:
  • End of Last Year
  • Budget
  • Last Month

etc.
