Current View Filter

Hi Experst;
I have two questions about CV filtering.
I am trying to select dimension member on buttons. Using with "MNU_ETOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_A" but i want to filter dimension member. I have a lot of member in dimension so i need to filtering.
1-Is there any way to make a filter for "MNU_ETOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_A" function ?
2-Can I use "EVCVW" function in macro ?
Thank you for help.

It is possible to get the username in the report. This is possible using the EVUSR() function.
Also, it is possible to put a property based filter in the EVCVW() function, using the following syntax: EVCVW(APPNAME;DIMENSIONNAME;"PROPERTYNAME=PROPERTYVALUE").
Using standard excel functionality, you could link this to the result of the EVUSR function and create a filter based on user name.
Example:
Dimension you want to filter on is Account in the Finance app. Property name is USER. The EVUSR function is in cell A1 and returns the value User1.
Because the filter is a text string, first we need to create an excel link where you combine property name and username in the correct syntax for use in the EVCVW function. We are going to do this in cell A2. This function would come in Cell A2:
="USER="&A1
This will result in the following text to appear in cel A2: USER=User1
EVCVW syntax would be like this:
=EVCVW("FINANCE";"ACCOUNT";A2).
Now, if the users doubleclicks the EVCVW function, the memberselection box will open with the defined filter.
However, if the user uses the CV box in the action pane, the filter will not be automatically applied, so you will need to explain to the users that they should use the cell you have created to apply current view changes.
Something else you could do is use security settings in the member access profiles, but this could lead to difficulties as not al dimensions will be secured, and maybe you want to use other dimension members in other reports/input schedules.

  • Current View as filter in BPC Vs Planning level and package in BPS

    Hi,
         If I understand correctly, the current view is as like a filter in BPC as planning level and package in BPS, by comparing then I notice that the value for current can only be single value while in planning level and package we can have range, multiple value of single value.
        Let's have a planning scenario  we need to planning for every month based on the actual month data,
    in BPS we can easily configure two type of columns with actual and planning data, while in BPC, since the current view only  allow single value, we have to copy the actual data to planning data, then with the category set to planning, we can do our planning. Of course if there is hierarchy, we can use parent to allow to display all the child.
       The other option is to use the EvGTS function which can retrieve the data outside the current view.
       Anybody have other though on this?

    Hi JW-
    I did not mean to imply that the Current View (CV) is not a filter.  It can definitely be used to filter data presented from an EVDRE as well as other Ev functions, just like filters in BPS and IP.  However as a developer you have the option to use the CV or, through your configuration, disregard and/or override the CV settings.
    One example of disregarding CV settings is using standard Excel functions to provide the user a dropdown list from which to select certain dim members.  The drop down box selection could be used instead of the CV for defining Ev function selections.  My point is that you have multiple design paths of controlling what data is selected/processed; you are not only limited to the CV values.  From a performance viewpoint, you are correct in assuming that limiting the data selection will greatly impact overall performance.  Using the CV to limit data selection to enhance performance is very valid approach, just be aware that there are several alternative ways (other than using CV to control data selection) available to the developer.

  • List View Filter - I want to create List View based on a specific user

    I want to create a List View Filter based on specified user ID. I dont want to specify the [Me] for filtering the view based in current logged in User.
    I want the view to be based on specific user ID for Ex: "AD\JohnDoe"
    Thanks

    The People/Group Picker field has several options for how the name is displayed. For example you can set it to be the friendly name or the account name. When you create your View Filter, make sure that you are using the same format as the field's display
    type.

  • Properties don't show up in the current viewbar filter

    Hello,
    When clicking the Entity dimension on the current view bar, then applying the filter, there is only one property option to select (The ID property).  Even though there are about 15 properties defined.  This dimension processes fine, but it is the largest dimension with around 35,000 lines.  All other dimension properties appear under the filter.  Is this a size issue?  or is there another problem here?
    Thanks!

    Assuming the InApp selection is not causing your issue, I ran into a similar problem on a 5.1 SP3 environment.  We had an application that was originally written in a 4.x environment.  The dimension had > 100,000 members, and in 4.x the filters worked fine.  However, in 5.1, the properties were not displayed in the filter dialog.
    I opened a ticket with support, and after a few weeks, they confirmed that there is a bug when a dimension contains more than 26,000 or 27,000 members (I don't have the ticket handy, but I seem to remember that is the cutoff).  Unfortunately, they told me that the fix would not be available until 7.0 was released.

  • View Filter Presets - Yes, they can be iterated, and set, but...

    Anybody know how to create a view filter?
    For example, my first use case would be to filter on PV2003 - anybody know how to do that?
    (Back in the good ol' days I would just run a plugin to set custom metadata, then filter on the custom metadata (like Jeffrey Friedl's Focal Length Sort did), but isn't there a better way in SDK3.0? - Even if undocumented, for example, create a view-filter preset file that accesses unexposed fields... - Lightroom would probably have to be restarted to use it though, hmmm..
    Any help?

    John,
    I do have a few more cores but I think the big difference is LR3 vs LR2.  I am still in 2.5 awaiting some performance fixes before switching to v3.  I continue to test LR3 on both my desktop (8 cores) and laptop (2 cores).  Here is what I am finding:
    In version 2.5, it takes approximately 4 times longer to fill the shadow field if all are empty than simply checking.  So my rate of 2-3,000 per second is primarily checking - but that is what it will be doing most of the time once the initial fill is complete.  I see very little difference between my laptop and the desktop for this test.
    Running v 3.0 it much, much longer to fill the fields than in v 2.5 - maybe a slow as 25/second.  Again, I see very little difference between the laptop and the desktop.  The worst part is that in 3.0 the incremental fill takes just as long as the initial fill - this might be related to the issue whereby issuing a Ctrl-S is not longer incremental but updates all images (hopefully an error on Adobe's part that will be corrected soon).
    Conclusion, I think what you are seeing is primarily a difference between v2 and v3 of Lightroom; however, you seem to be getting much of that performance back by using the batch commands which, as a side note, I have not yet implemented since those commands just came out with v3.  I just loop through the catalog and read metadata one image at a time.  The relevant code (not pretty so don't laugh) is basically:
    --###################### task code  ###########################################
    LrTasks.startAsyncTask( function()
    -- get a reference to all the photos in the entire catalog
    local cat_photos = nil
    catalog:withReadAccessDo( function()
         cat_photos = catalog.allPhotos
    end )
    -- determine number of photos to be processed
    local ncat_photos = #cat_photos
    -- confirm the action since it can be massive on large number of photos
    local message = "Are you sure you want to create the duplicate field for the folder name and set the Metadata errors field of the " .. ncat_photos .. " selected images?"
    local returnbutton = di.confirm( message,nil,"Yes")
    if returnbutton == "cancel" then
         progressScope:done()
         return
    end
    -- get access to the current catalog
    catalog:withWriteAccessDo("Construct Captions", function()
    --di.message("Jeff Dialog",tostring(#cat_photos),"info")
    local cap_string = "Checking/Updating " .. tostring(ncat_photos) .. " images "
    progressScope:setCaption(cap_string)
    -- loop through each of the photos selected
    local indexnum = 0
    for i, photo in ipairs(cat_photos) do
    indexnum = indexnum + 1
    local fold = trim(photo:getFormattedMetadata('folderName'))
    local kws       = photo:getFormattedMetadata('keywordTags')  -- retrieves keywordes ENTERED
    local sfold     = photo:getPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN, 'shadowFolder' )
    -- remove blanks that don't work for filter bar purposes
    local shadfold  = string.gsub(fold, " ", "")
    shadfold  = string.gsub(shadfold, "_", "")
    local firstchar = string.find(shadfold,"%a") -- finds first alpha character
    if firstchar == nil then firstchar = #shadfold+1 end
    shadfold = string.sub(shadfold,1,firstchar-1) .. "|" .. string.sub(shadfold,firstchar,#shadfold)
    -- if in year/mo format, then insert dash between year and month
    if firstchar == 7 then
         shadfold = string.sub(shadfold,1,4) .. "-" .. string.sub(shadfold,5,#shadfold)
    end
    -- COPY folder without blanks or _ to duplicate field
    if shadfold ~= sfold then
         photo:setPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN, 'shadowFolder', shadfold )
    end
    end      -- of looping through selected photos
    end )    -- of catalog:withWriteAccessDo
    end)     -- of task
    --###################### end of task code  ###########################################
    Here's to hoping 3.1 brings our performance back!

  • Programmatically use a view filter function

    Are there any way to activate the built-in filter functionality from the SDK? (The one on top of a view: Edit Criteria->Add Criteria)
    I need to make a task, which filters the current view, based on what the user selects in my task.
    More specifically: A view has a number of columns, one of them being Classification Category. So by using a list of those, can I take the users input, and use it to filter a view by Classification Category?
    Alternatively, as I suspect the above isn't possible, how do I display a list of incidents in a custom form? Something like the search window, I would like to be able to display a list of incidents, which corresponds to some criteria, and enable the users to
    double-click to open them.

    Yes, essentially. I'd like to define the content of my emails in facelets via XHTML files, ideally with as few restrictions on what parts of JSF/facelets can be used as possible.
    To be a little more explicit, suppose I've defined my email contents in /WEB-INF/email.xhtml and it has parameters x, y and z. I'd like to have a class, say MagicViewRenderer, which could do the following:
    MagicViewRenderer mvr = new MagicViewRenderer(facesContext);
    mvr.setParameter("x", objX);
    mvr.setParameter("y", objY);
    mvr.setParameter("z", objZ);
    String contents = mvr.render("/WEB-INF/email.xhtml");
    // Use contents as the body of an email message

  • Get current View in ViewNavigatorApplication

    Hello,

    Thank you.

    OK, this is what I've done,I'm not sure if it's the best way.
    Also, I have not been able to find a way to compare navigator.activeView to navigator.firstView.
    private function currentViewIsFirstView():Boolean
            if(navigator.activeView.className.toLowerCase()=='name_of_first_view_class'){return true;}
            return false;
    I'm doing this so I can exit the NativeApplication when the Back Button (Android) is pressed on the first view.

  • How to get current viewed task

    For an external synchronization requirement I need to maintain or be able to retrieve the current viewed task by a user. I'm hopeful that this has been solved before. Does anyone have any insight there? I'm considering setting up a table to maintain the current viewed taskid for the user, but even that is proving challenging with my lack of ADF exposure. I see the 'TaskSelectedEvent' in the wizard generated task form I'm using but I'm not sure how I might leverage that.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Yes. there is no API to get the current task.
    Try this:
    WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("wi_id");
    But i still say a bit confused with your requirement.
    The task id gets created only upon creation of a task. And you want this current task id in the BPM Process context? How is it possible unless and until some action takes place and the data is passed from WDJ to BPM Context?
    Please clear my doubt.

  • Print "Current View" not avail in Acro 9

    I am trying to print a selected area on the page.  In prior versions, I could zoom in on the area, click print and then choose "Current view" under print range.  In Acrobat 9, I don't have "Current View", but I do have "Selected Pages".
    Is there a way to print the current view short of extracting the page, cropping it then printing it?
    The online help page at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7bde. w.html says it should be there, but it is not.

    Bernd,
    Just closing the "Pages" navigation panel does not do it.  What I figured out was that if a page is preselected in the "Pages" navigation panel, then I get "Selected Pages" in the print range. I get that even with the navigation panel closed.
    In order to get "Current View", I have to click off of the page in the navigation panel so that no page is preselected. Now I can print what is shown in the graphics window.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Print current view greyed out in Acrobat 9.4.1

    I can't select Print current view for some reason.  I tried selecting different printers but am unable to select this option.  I saw an earlier post that said take the cursor off of page navigation, but I've done that (and don't even have page navigation open) but still cannot select "current view" print.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    I figured out that if I zoom to an area 1 page or smaller the "current view" print is available.
    What I'm trying to do is print the bottom 1/3 of one page and the top 1/2 of the next page.  Apparently if the view spans 2 or more pages the current view print option is unavailable.
    Is there a way to do what I want (print 1/2 of the bottom of page 2 and top 1/2 of page 3)?

  • Current View option in  the Print dialog box

    I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
    I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable.  Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print. 
    When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
    Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to set Print...More Options...Current View in ActiveX control?

    I am using Visual Studio 2012 to develop an application that will open large PDFs (24" x 36") and allow the user to zoom to a particular part of the document. I want to give them a Print button on my application to simply print the Current View of the document to the default printer. I want limited customer options, so no showing the Print Dialog, etc... This will be for general customer use. I am trying to do this with the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control. If this cannot be done with the ActiveX control, I thins something I could do with the full Acrobat SDK? Thanks!

    The Reader control actually does what I want pretty well. I set the mouse wheel to allow zooming, the hand tool to drag the document around works easy and fast. I just need to turn off some of the Acrobat Toolbar options and set this Print Current View option.
    This is frustrating as back in Acrobat Reader 7 or 8 I think, you could set the Current View in the Print Dialog and the setting would stay until it was specifically changed. Now it reverts per print job, thus I now having to code against the Reader control, or other, to get around it, to keep the user from having to set this option each time (and the user will change frequently as they are walk-in customers)
    Anyway with this additional list of requirements, do you thihnk I still cannot do it with the Reader ActiveX control? If not, and I need to use the SDK, do you mean I would have to buy a full copy of Adobe Acrobat and install on that system for the application to work? If so, do I also need to buy another full copy of Adobe Acrobat for my development system so I can write code and test the application? If I need a full copy for the Dev computer, does Adobe have any kind of reduced pricing for a Dev version?
    Thanks!
