Crosstab with multiple benchmarks to score

Does a cross tab in Design Studio allow you to compare a KPI across multiple benchmarks in a row where each intersection would display a visual indicator as to how we are performing against that benchmark? I can't find anything that shows we can easily do this on universe based data. Nor can i find anything that shows the product can easily do this.
Can someone point me in the right direction if this is possible? Thanks!

I missed that part; sorry
I don't know if that can be done against a universe as the example in the learning hub uses the BEx Exceptions
Once I try it I will document and let you know.
I haven't recently read the Design Studio 1.3 features -so Mustafa may be right about more alerting features coming in 1.3

Crosstab with multiple rowset xml content

I have multiple rowsets (xml files) which I want to calculate subtotals from. Each xml data set has identical columns. If I union all the files together, the xml content contains multiple rowsets and the Crosstab function does not give me a summed value of each column, but instead it creates a column for each column in each rowset.
The Normalize and the rowset combiner transform both combine rowsets by appending the second dataset into new columns, is there any way to append the data into new rows instead?
Because my final file is going to have something over 30,000 rows (14Mb), I am reluctant to use a repeater on each row of each file to combine it into a new rowset. Is there an efficient way to handle this calculation?

Sue,
I believe that we are off on the wrong foot here...all things aside...
Join will work for your scenario when combined with other actions for your calculation and it will be easier to maintain than a stylesheet which will be beneficial to you in the end. Please do not be too quick to judge the solution
As for the error message that's one for support, what was the error in the logs?

PIVOT with multiple columns to add and multiple levels of grouping

Hi friends,
I got a table with the columns in the form of:
CRITERIA_A,
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
AMOUNT_A,
AMOUNT_B,
AMOUNT_C,
AMOUNT_D
Any way to design a pivot to present the table reflecting:
Sums of Amount_A, Amount_B, Amount_C, Amount_D
For Rows reflecting grouping levels on:
Criteria_B, Criteria_C
and Columns breakup for:
Criteria_A?
An example like:
Criteria_A1
Criteria_A2
Criteria_A3
Criteria_A4
Row Labels
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A

Thanx in advance, Best Regards, Faraz A Qureshi

Sounds like this to me if in T-SQL query
(best guess based on what you posted)
SELECT
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_C,
FROM Table
GROUP BY CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C
to make it dynamic see
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/70/posts/10791/dynamic-crosstab-with-multiple-pivot-columns.aspx
However it would be much easier to build this in SSRS reports using matrix if you can use it.
In that case just bring data as is
then add a matrix to report
Add column grouping on Criteria A and Row grouping on Criteria B and then Criteria C .
In data portion add three columns with expressions as
=SUM(Fields!Amount_A.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_B.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_C.Value)
then you will get exact format what you're asking for

Multiple Quizzes with multiple results (in Captivate 6)

Hey guys, Thanks for reading!
Does anyone know if it is possible to do multiple tests with multiple results in captivate 6? or if it is possible to have a pre-test with a quiz, and have separate results for each?
I've been having a play with captivate 6 and when I put a quiz in, it overrides the results slide for my pre-test.
Looking at the results slide master properties I can choose to have results for one of my quizzes but not both (even on separate slides):
It wont even let me insert another slide based on the other result.
I would like to know if multiple quizzes with multiple results is possible in Captivate 6?, or if I am simply doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Sorry for way-late reply...
It's really more how your LMS handles 'courses' and the terminology it uses.
Essentially, most often, a 'SCORM Package' (SCO) is a 'course'. I'd rather call each SCO a 'lesson' as, to me, 'courses' should be setup in the LMS with a series of 'Lessons'.
Regardless of the terminology, each 'SCO' is launched by the LMS and one score can be recorded for it via SCORM.
So if you need multiple final scores recorded, each of those final scores need to be in their own SCO.
A common approach is a Pre-Test SCO (or 'lesson', or 'course', whatever term), a 'Content' SCO perhaps with some interspersed scored interactions, and a Post-Test SCO...all three merged together as a 'course' (or whatever term) within the LMS.
That said, as said, it really all depends on how your LMS handles various SCOs...
Clear as mud?

Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found".
Thanks,
Debbie

Debbie,
That's standard.
It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
I hope that clears it up for your.
Regards,
Mark

Constructing test with multiple results

Hi, I have the question for Lilybyri:
I learn to construct test with multiple results from your article:
Constructing Test with Multiple Results (CP5)
This is exactly what I need. My question is - can I use the radio button interaction or smart shape instead click box? What you recommend? I use CP7 or CP8.
Need to publishing the final test both HTML5 and SWF output. My test wil have 55 questions and 4 results score - one of them describe the personality of learner.
Yarik

Advasntage of click box and shape button is that they can have score
attached to it. That is not the case for radio buttons interaction that has
also limited formatting options.

Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!

How do I use your iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries

Hi, I have my music spread out between 3 seperate Itunes libraries on 3 different profiles on my computer. I have the newest generation Ipod Nano, Ipod Shuffle, and Iphone 4s. My Ipod's are both full, so I've decided to start putting music onto my phone. With my Ipod's, I can plug them into one profile on the computer, download the music on the Itunes library that exists on that profile, then do the same with the other profiles with no issue. However when I try to do this with my phone, It asks me to erase the music I have gotten from one Itunes library and sync with the current library, as soon as I plug it in to a different Itunes on one of the other profiles. I have my Iphone configured with the Manually manage music option, and I still haven't found a way to use my Iphone with multiple music libraries. PLEASE HELP

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 - If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
They seem inconsistent as far as the iPad is concerned but in both articles the iPhone appears to only be able to sync to one library at a time.

How to share account with multiple devices?

3 kids with 3 devices - an iPod Touch and two iPads Mini - family shares one account with Apple/iTunes and one library on our family PC. They use FACETIME and MESSAGES with their friends, and they all see each others messages and conversations. How do I fix this? Is there a setting or a way to create sub-accounts off the family account so they can still share the main library for music and video OR do I have to create separate Apple/iTunes accounts for each kid? Is there a setting on their devices that can help? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure the right question to ask...

How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

Hello
I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
If you need anymore information please ask!
Matt

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
with multiple index servers ?
Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
our KM content for portal users.
I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
despite reading the Single and Distributed install
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andres

Hi Andres,
To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
Proceed like this:
1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
[daemon]
references sections below
programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
Hope this helps!
cheers

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.
