Depending on the list dimension chosen for a specific list, the first column(s) will be the dimension(s) which is chosen for each item. In the example above, that
are the Entity and Account
dimensions.
List Attributes
The Attributes are listed
below.
Attributes
List Attribute | Description | Available Values | Default |
---|
Empty
By setting this attribute to yes, the line will be shown as empty. This means that no data will be queried and only the label/custom description will be showed.
Visible
By setting this attribute to no, the line will be hidden. Hiding a line can be useful for a calculation step in a formula.
Custom Description
The custom description overrides the default generated name. You can use either a fixed text or a Dynamic Label Expression
Formula
By specifying a formula this line will be calculated.
Format
Order | Use the order attribute to reorder the rows. | 1, 2, 3... | Max + 1 |
Item Label | The default name of the item is displayed. | n/a | n/a |
Dimension1 ...Dimension n | A column for each of the dimension on which the list is created. A member or a variable can be selected | Member or a Variable | n/a |
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 |
Formula | By specifying a formula this line will be calculated. | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Parent Item | Olny relevant for Lists used in POV and in Value Tree Lis | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Format | The format attribute will specify the look and feel of the row. |
Order
Use the order attribute to reorder the bars or lines.

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.
Insert Data Label | Use this filed to determine whether the item value will be displayed. Relevant for chart reports only. | Yes/No | No |
Width | Determines the width of a cloumn | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Item Type | Determines the Type of the Item | Lable Only, Data, Commant | Data |
Valuation | The value of the valuation is inherited from the underlying system |
. |
Positive, Negative | n/a | ||
Reverse Sign | When this attribute is set to yes, the sign will be flipped. | No, Yes | No |
Visible | This value determines whether a column will be visible in the report. | Yes/No | Yes |
Suppress Value | This value sets automatic |
row suppressing, click on |
the type |
to see the suppressing options. | None, SuppressNoData, SuppressZeros, SuppressNoDataAndZeros | 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.
Suppress Variance | Allows you to set the conditions for not suppressing the Variance, by using |
SuppressNoBaseOrReference, Suppress, NoSuppress, SuppressNoBase, SuppressNoReference | SuppressNoBaseOrReference |
Redirect Report | Use this field to select an existing report that will be available through a hyperlink. | Empty, Populated | Empty |
