Introduction

A pick list is a list building block that can be to file item selectors. Item selectors appear on many reports and can contain calculated items as well.

Example:

CONTENT

Table of Contents

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 is the Account dimension.

Custom Description

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, PopulatedEmpty

Threshold value for the Variance (e.g., Actual vs. Budget). If the Variance is less than this Threshold, then a neutral variance colour is used (Orange). Otherwise Red (indicating an unfavourable variance) or Green (favourable variance) is used. Use e.g. -200;300 for an absolute threshold or -10%;20% for a relative thresholdVisibleThis value determines whether a item will be visible in the report.Yes/NoYes
