Report Studio
Allow Users to Select Multiple Values
|
You can allow users to select more than one value or a range
of values in a prompt. For example, you have a prompt for which users
must select a product line. You can modify the prompt so that users can
select more than one product line.
If you enable multiple selections, the Auto-Submit
property is always set to no.
To Allow Users to Select Multiple Values in a Prompt:
- Click the prompt control
that you want to modify.
- In the Properties
pane, choose whether to allow users to specify more than one value or
a range of values:
- To allow users
to specify more than one value, set the Multi-Select
property to Yes.
- To allow users
to specify a range of values, set the Range
property to Yes.
- Pause the point on the
page explorer button and go to a report page.
- From the Data
menu, click Filters
.
If you have more than one query defined in the report, you must first
click an object linked to a query. If there is more than one query defined
in the report, click an object that is linked to the query you want.
- Double-click the filter
associated with the prompt.
- Change the operator to
one of the following:
- If you are creating
a multi-select prompt, change the operator to in.
For example, [Product_line] in ?Product
line? where [Product_Line] is the name of the data item allows users to select multiple product lines.
- If you are creating
a range prompt, change the operator to in_range.
- For example, [[Margin] in_range ?Margin? where [Margin] is the name of the data item
allows users to specify a margin range.
