Changing Prompt Order of Prompts defined at the universe level

Hi All,
I need to change the order of the prompts defined at the universe level.By default they appear in alphabetical order.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Hi Shweta,
If you are on XI R2 then you can try the following extended syntax for the prompt definition:
@Prompt('Region', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:0)
@Prompt('Area', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:1) ...etc
Else there is no other way to sort the prompt in the desired order. Either you have to prefix the prompt text with numbers
or alphabets.

Rohit

Qualifying Prompt at the Universe level

Hi
I wanted to know whether it is possible to create a qualifying prompt at the universe level:
The first prompt will be u2018Select a Timeframeu2019 which will prompt user to select one out of following values
u2018Select Dateu2019 (multi select), u2018Select Weeku2019 (Multi select) and u2018Select Periodu2019 (Multi select). When user selects say any one value like u2018select Weeku2019 value , he will be give the Values for the Week number concenated with Week End Date. On selecting one or more values, the data for selected week numbers will be given. Same for u2018Select Dateu2019 where he can select Multiple Dates and select Period where he can select multiple periods.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this issue as this is a very high priority form my cleints.
Any help is highly appreiciated.

Do you users expect a fixed number of possible values in the 2nd selection level regardless which of the 3 selections was done on the 1st level (week, date, period)? Or should they be able to type in in the 2nd level their own values also at least for some of the 1st level selections (eg. period)?
Which database do you use?

To restrict a object to a particular Group at the Universe level

Hi,
I have a object which should be restricted only to a particular group at the universe level.So when i define the universe we have to have explicit security that will restrict access to this object information from reports and from ad-hoc queries.I should restrict the object only to the particular group by a role based security.
Please help me out in this case.
Thanks in advance,
Madan

Hi Madan,
Please follow the below steps:
(In Designer)
1) Open Island Resort Marketing universe or any universe in Designer.
2) Goto Tools -> Manage security -> Manage Access Restrictions.
3) Click on New option - > Give the Restriction name - >click on Rows tab - > Click on Add button (New Row Restriction window comes) -> give table name For example:"Resort_Country" in the Table text box, under the Where Clause "Resort_Country.COUNTRY = @Prompt ('Which country?u2019,u2019 A',, MONO,FREE)"-> Click OK -> Click Ok.
4) Click on Add user or group - >Select the user ->Ok.
5) Click on Apply -> Click OK.
6) Save the universe and export it into the repository.
7) Cretae the new report (webi/deski) from the user the one who belongs from this group.
Hope above steps will helps you.

Adding a column in the Universe level without losing the Report Lay out

Hi all,
I have one universe with three universes built on it. Now, I want to add a column to one of the tables in the universe. For that, I selected the table and gave 'Refresh the structure'. The column got added in the workspace of the universe. When I drag and drop the table to the class & objects panel, it got added to the class/table in the panel. I saved and exported the universe.
When I do like above, and open the report in the BO XI R3.1 webi front end, the report throws the following error:
'Universe contains unresolved objects' and the report lay out is lost. All the three reports built on this universe is throwing the same error.
Please let me know if there is any other way to retain the report lay out and add the column in the universe level.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the sometimes frustrating world of working with dates against SAP BW via BusinessObjects!
Your best bet here is to have a financial calendar table in a database and build a new query against that. Return Week Number as a detail of date and then merge the date dimensions.

How to Define a Required Prompt at the Universe Level

Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere... I searched and can't find the topic covered yet.
I've been under the impression for a long time that one could configure a Universe such that it would require a prompt on a dimension whenever that Universe was run, regardless of the tool or report. For example, you could configure an eFashion Universe such that any report or analysis built against it (Webi, Crustal, Design Studio, Lumira, PowerQuery... whatever) would trigger a prompt, perhaps on Year or State. The idea is that at the Universe you could prevent developers and self-service users from building "Select All" reports.
However, even with the use of LOV flags in the Data Foundation and Business Layer (e.g. "Force users to filter values before use"), I can't figure out how to make it work.
So, I have two questions...
Is it possible to include required prompts/filters in the Universe definition?
If so, how?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi...
Is it possible to include required prompts/filters in the Universe definition?
Yes..it’s possible to include prompts at universe level,
If all the reports are using same prompts, you can create at universe level and use same prompt in all the reports. You can define mandatory or optional prompt.
Following is the syntax for the function.
@Prompt('message','type',[lov],Mono|Multi,free|constrained|primary_key,persistent|not_persistent,[default_values])
The following are simple examples of @Prompt syntax.
Minimal use of the @Prompt function:
@Prompt('Displayed text ','A',,,)
Using the @Prompt with a LOV without default values:
@Prompt('Displayed text ','A',{'Paris','London','Madrid'},,)
Using the @Prompt with a LOV and one default value:
@Prompt('Displayed text ','A',{'Paris','London','Madrid'},,,,{'Paris'})
2 : If so, how?
In the condition's SELECT or WHERE field, right-click at the place in the expression where you wantto add a prompt and
select @Prompt editor from the shortcut menu.
In the Message box, type the message that you want the user to see.
Select Keep last value selected if you want the prompt to propose the values used for the previousreport.When the report is run for the first time, the default values (if any) are proposed.
Select Allow multiple selection if the user can enter or select more than one value.
Set the Selection mode. For Free selection, the user can enter any allowed value. For Constrainedselection, the user must select a value from a list of values. For Primary key, the user selects theobject name, but the object's primary key is used by the query. You can only use the Primary keysetting if Index Awareness is set.
Note:
When the Constrained option is selected and a List of Values is not specified, the corresponding Tab color turns to red, OK button is disabled, and on moving the cursor over the highlighted tab, the contextual tooltip displays a message indicating how to rectify the problem.
Set the Value type for the selection mode: Alphanumeric, Number, or Date.
If you have selected Primary key for the selection mode, set the Key type: Alphanumeric, Number,or Date.
If you are using multiple selection, define the list of values. Do one of the following: you can type orimport a list of values, or you can select a universe object.
Click the Default Values tab and define any default values. When you allow multiple selection, youcan set more than one default value.
Click OK.
The "@Prompt" editor closes and the prompt expression is visible in the condition's statement in the "Edit Properties" pane.
Validate the prompt and click Parse.When the syntax is

My query prompts does not appear in the Query prompt order list!

Dear colleagues,
All of my query prompts does not appear in the Query prompt order list in properties of the query. It seems random which of them that appears there and not.
This makes it impossible for me to control or change the order of prompts, instead they order themselves alphabetically.
Is this some kind of bug? Is there a fix for this problem?
Regards
Silje

Hi Stratos,
We use Edge.
Correction- we use Enterprise, changed a few months ago!
By the way, we heard about a bug that probarly causes the problem.
If the query has ever had a prompt containing 'Between', all prompts created afterwards will not appear in the prompt order list! Even if the between-prompt is deleted.. We still havent heard about a fix for this, please contact me if you hear anyting. It is not an option to create all the queries from scratch again!

Webi 3.1 - Making Webi Prompts appear on top of the Universe Prompts

Hi,
I have a report which uses some of the objects that are coded with @Prompt code ( CPrmp1, FPrmp2, APrmp3 ...) at the universe level as well as some of the Webi prompts like a dimension Name is dragged into the query filter and is of type prompt.
When the report is run the prompts appear in the below order -
APrmp3
CPrmp1
FPrmp2
Name ( --- > Webi report filter )
Also as above the universe level prompts appear in the alphabetically order, but I do not want them to appear in aplhabetically order.
I want the Name filter to appear first and then all the Universe level prompts below it in the below order -
Name
CPrmp1
FPrmp2
APrmp3
Any inputs are appreciated
Also when the report is open in the web mode i.e html, how can I make the Prompts appear on the left tab, like the Input Controls. I can see the Prompt on the left tab, but if opened on a collegues IE it does not appear and we have to select the Prompt option at the bottom from among the various options. So its there anyy specific setting, I am missing here .
Thanks for the input's.
Dipti

Let meexplain you whole scenario.:
Refer below snapshot:
Here i placed report level prompt at the top.
And once you run this report:
Ordering has been changed in the report because always it will take universe prompts first and then report level prompt.
Resolution : As i meantioned earlier , create two different query in the report.

Pranay

Prompt Order when opening Report - And order in List Of Values

I guess this is a fearly easy question... But I thought easier to ask you guys than struggling all night.
1 - I have a report with some prompts. How do I change the order they appear in ?
2 - For some List Of Values I have really a strange order. How come ? And What should I do to fix it ?
Hoping on some good answers in the weekend
Best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
You can set the "Prompt Order" in "Properties" tab in the Query Panel.
1.Make sure that you are in the Query Panel. Make sure that "Edit Query" button is pressed.
2.Click on the "Properties" tab, just beside "Data" Tab
3.Scroll down to see the "Prompt Order" option. Select the prompt and use " UP or DOWN" arrows (not the keyboard arrows. Expand the "properties" tab window, if you don't see the arrows) to change the prompt order.
Thanks,
Raveendra

Webi Prompt Order

I am trying to use the Rebean SDK to set the order of prompts in a XI3.1 SP3 Webi document. This document does contain universe prompts, i.e. a table has a self join with @Prompt(). Looking through the Javadocs, I see a PromptOrder class, but it only seems to be accessible through DataProvider.getPromptOrder(). My goal is to set the prompt order for the document, not the data provider. Is this possible?

If u have prompts at the universe level then u can follow the below prompt declaration .
In the @prompt declaration at the universe level @Prompt('Enter Product Family','A','Product Hierarchy\Product Family',multi,free,Not_Persistent,{'Kiwi','Guava'},User:0). In this prompt declaration i had used an additional parameter at the end named User :0; so this will ensure that this will be coming first. But this will work only if you use that user:1 for the other prompt as well. if u do not use user: definition for all the prompts of that report then it will not work again.

Control Click to Change Tab Order

I know there are new ways to move the field names around to change form fields, but I miss the ability to change tab order by control clicking on the field. I like the new ones, but would like to have the old way also.

You can get the coordinates of the mouse "drop" relative to the scene in the onDragDropped handler with
event.getSceneX() and event.getSceneY().
You can get the location of the top left of a node relative to the scene with
private Point2D getSceneLocation(Node node) {
     if (node.getScene() == null) {
          return new Point2D(0,0);
     double x = 0 ;
     double y = 0 ;
     for (Node n = node ; n != null; n=n.getParent()) {
          Bounds boundsInParent = n.getBoundsInParent();
          x += boundsInParent.getMinX();
          y += boundsInParent.getMinY();
     return new Point2D(x, y);
(and you can get the other corners of the node simply by adding the width and/or height from node.getBoundsInLocal() to the result of that if you need.)
So if you ensure every tab has a graphic, you can iterate through the tabs and do something like
int dropIndex = 0 ;
for (Tab tab : tabPane.getTabs()) {
     Point2D tabLocationInScene = getSceneLocation(tab.getGraphic());
     if (tabLocationInScene.getX() > event.getSceneX()) {
          break ;
     } else {
          dropIndex++ ;
tabPane.getTabs().add(dropIndex, tabToBeAdded);
Ensuring every tab has a graphic probably just means setting the text to an empty string and setting the graphic to a Label containing the text; or I guess you could just use a zero width and height Rectangle, or some such.

It would be very useful to be able to change an order of open windows in the Visual Editor by dragging its tabs. Thanks in advance.

You can't change the order of the photos in the built in photos app. There are other apps that give you much more flexibility than what the photos app allows. You may want to do a search in the App Store for one that suits your needs.
Read this to learn about the photo sorting order on the iPad. The gist of the article is this .... Copied from the article.
By default, photos sort according to the date modified (in ascending order).
