Hide "All values" in input controls?

Hey guys,
I'm wondering that I could not find my question already in this forum but however - this is my question:
Isn't it possible to hide the value "All values" in the input controls? In some cases it just doesn't make sense to leave that into the input-control-field.
I.e. if I want to give the possibility to switch between Euro, kEUR and mEUR I need to hide the "All values" radio button (see screenshot).
But how can I do that?
Thanks for your help !
Oliver

Hi,
That was a very useful answer!
I have a quick question - I am in BO 4.0 (not 4.1) and I would like to default the "All values" selection to a specific value.
I have defined the input control using Var_Currency_Type (dimension) and have assigned two values i.e. 'USD' & 'Local Currency'. The default value is 'USD'.
The input control works fine. When I select either USD or Local Currency.
but, I do not see any table when I select 'all values'. I would like it to display 'USD' when user selects 'All Values'.
=======================================================================
In the format table (two tables - one for USD and one for Local currency), I have put in the formula:
x - Hide when following formula is true
=ReportFilter([Var_Curency_Type])<>"USD" -- for USD table
and = ReortFilter([Var_Currency_Type])<>"Local Currency" for Local Currency table.
======================================================================
Does anyone have encoutered this situation. Could you please share the solution?
Thanks for your time.

Display Report Level Filter value and Input Controls Value

Hi,
Please let me know how to display Report Level Filter value and Input COntrol values in the report.
I have 2 tabs in the WebI Report. The first tab has the summary details about the other tabs like reprot desc, prompt values, reprot filter values,etc.
In the 2nd tab I have the actual report which has input controls defined, prompt values and global level report filters.
Can anyone please tell me how to display the Report level filter values and the Input Control values in the first tab report.
For ex: Tab 2 has a Report level filter: Region = NA
I need to display in Tab 1 in as Region: NA
I used the function ReportFilterSummary but that is giving me other details, I want only the object name and the value.
Also how to dispaly the Input Control values in the tab 1.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this issue.
Thanks

did you try
=ReportFilter([Year])
if you are making report filter over the year, it will return the value of the filter
by the way, the filter should be applied over all the report not to a specific block to be able to get the correct value
the Input control also considered as report filter, only if you're applying them on the level of the report, if you applying an input contron over a specific block or chart, you will not get the values for ReportFilter
good luck

ADF Faces: How do I set values for input controls in an af:table

Use case: user enters master/detail information into an input form using an af:table for the desired number of detail rows.
I have an ADF Faces input form with master level input controls, and an af:table (bound to a backing bean CoreTable) for the detail data set.
The input controls are value bound to updateable view objects built from entity objects, with the appropriate view links providing master/detail iterators.
Once the user has entered the master keys (via inputTexts, and selectOneChoices), I create a row in the detail VO, thus creating a visible blank row in the af:table.
The user then completes the key for the detail row (in the af:table) by selecting a value in a selectOneChoice (in a af:column) with autoSubmit on and a valueChangeListener that sets the VO row attribute with the new value.
The user then continues to enter into the remaining inputTexts and selectOneChoices in the af:columns until all values have been entered.
I do not have autoSubmit on for any input controls in the af:columns other than the key, for performance improvement.
The user can then use a command button (which has an action method) to create another row in the af:table.
But, (in the action method) I need to set the values for the 1st detail VO row attributes, from the input controls, before creating another row.
The input controls are bound to backing bean CoreInputText and CoreSelectOneChoice objects, and they have not set their values at this point, even though I have partialSubmit on for the "New Row" command button.
I do not value bind the input controls in the af:columns to the backing bean objects, because we need to display data for all rows entered into the af:table.
Any advice on the best way to perform this operation would be very appreciated!!!!

Thanks for the reply Steve!!
Yes, I followed the techniques in Screencast#7, and it works great in my edit page.
But I am having problems with my input form.
I actually have master/detail/detail relationship for which I am creating an input form.
I created the input form as a copy of the edit form, and am making revisions as necessary.
I created new view objects for the input form (from my three entity objects), which have the "Tuning" set to retrieve "No Rows (i.e. used only for inserting new rows)"
I added an invokeAction that binds the "CreateInsert" action on the master iterator, so when the page is first displayed, the master level controls are available for data entry (as in 13.6.2 in the Developers Guide): but the first level detail controls are not rendered, and the af:table (for the second level detail) is rendered but with no rows.
Once the user enters key values for the master (a three part key), I manually create a first level detail row by executing the "CreateInsert" action binding for the first level detail iterator.
Continuing on, the user then enters a key value for the first level detail I manually create a second level detail row using it's "CreateInsert" action binding.
Now the user has a form with all master and first level detail controls completed and one empty row in the af:table for it's first entry.
The key column in the af:table has autoSubmit on, and an value change listener. That listener uses it's getNewValue() to set the key value ("locationCode" in this case) using
setLocationCode from the ViewRowImpl. Here is that value change listener:
public void locationChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
if (null != event.getNewValue()) {
LocObsCreateViewRowImpl locCreateRow = (LocObsCreateViewRowImpl)appMod.findViewObject("LocObsCreateView").getCurrentRow();
if (null == locCreateRow.getLocationCode()) {
locCreateRow.setLocationCode(event.getNewValue().toString());
Now comes my problem: once they have entered the values in the remaining columns, they can use a command button to create another row in the 2nd detail iterator, thus creating another visible empty row in the af:table. But the values from the first row (other than the key column) are not assigned to the row in the collection and I can't figure out how to set values in the collection's row.
I imagine I'm missing something using bindings and the Request Processing Lifecycle, and after reading this I can see how much manual work is going on.
The users have specified the need to have all information available on one page, so I've designed it so they can insert and iterate through the first level detail collection.
They have also asked to not use the mouse; they are looking for a "heads-down-data-entry" system.
Again, I really appreciate any advice you could give.

Setting a default date value for input controls

Hi All,
I have created a webi report that shows - among other things - the activity between 2 dates. I have created 2 input controls where the user can select the start and end dates from a calendar for this.
The displayed data is restricted by a date variable which 'unfiltered' contains 1 month of data.
'out of the box' I can set these input controls and all works fine, but each time I open the report the same values that I set last time are set in the input controls. I want to have these default to being between today and 7 days ago with the user then able to move away from this action, rather than the 'window of interest' slowly slipping into the past.
I have looked at the forum posting Re: Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open which describes setting a default on the objects in the report filter pane, but this does not appear to be possible as these are 'grayed out' and i need both the input controls to run from a single object.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might be achieved?
Thanks in advance
John

Hi,
Sorry, I've obviously not explained myself very well. Please let me try to elaborate...
The report I am writting is to function as a dashboard (yes, i know - Xcelcius/Dashboard Designer - don't ask!) but asking the user to enter a prompt for the date range is not an option here. My only options for this are effectively the input controls or the report filters. I want to be able to achieve the effect of entering =CurrentDate() in the 'default value box in the same way that I would if writting a Reporting Services report. However the WebI controls do not accept expressions for this.
So...
I have one date object with a months worth of dates in it.
I have two input controls associated with this date object to allow the user to select a narrowed date range from this month of data.
I need one of these to default to 'today' and the other to default to '7 days ago' (I can do the calculations to get both dates, the bit I cannot get past is applying these dates as defaults)
can anyone help me with step 3 (in bold) above?
John

How to clear and nullify all values in various controls on a Search Form?

I have a page with search control mainly comprising of List Box, Text Box and Radio Buttons, I wish to provide user with a 'Clear' Button which should refresh the page and nullify all values user may have filled in the controls. How can I do this?

Hi,
Create button.
And then Create Page Process type of "Session State -> Clear Cache for all Items on Pages (PageID,PageID,PageID)".

Remove All Values option in Input Control

Hello Everyone,
I want to remove All Values option coming automatically from Input Control. Please help how to?
Regards,
Vaishali Wadhwa.

Hi,
"Hide All Values option" in input controls is possible from BI4.1 SP3.
Refer the link below @ page numbers from 5-7
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a02f8564-298c-3110-8ebd-922bcbd03335?QuickLink=index&…

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

Input Controls / Hierarchy

Hi,
We're looking into upgrade Service Pack 2. One of the nice new functionalities in Web Intelligence are input controls. When playing around with them a bit, we found them very useful to apply different selection filters on several objects, each belonging to a different dimension.
When we wanted to use input controls to sort of "select down into" a hierarchy within 1 dimension (so several object related to each other in a hierarchy), we found a selection on an object at eg. the top level of the hierarchy does not apply to the list of value of the input control for the lower levels (objects).
For example, dimension month.
Hierarchy: Semester > Quarter > Month
3 input controls on 3 objects: Semester, Quarter, Month
Selecting eg. Q1, does not limit the list of values of input control for Month to Jan, Feb, Mar
Instead all list of months need to be scrolled
This is unfortunate. For the above example, this is not that big an issue since the list of values in any case only has 12 entries. For other hierarchies however ...
Are we overlooking something? Can we get to above functionality from Input Controls?
If not in SP2, is this planned for the future? eg. SP3?
Thanks for feedback!
Raf

Hello Raf,
Thanks for your feedback about input controls.
This feature has been introduced as a first step in SP2, and will be improved in the coming releases (esp. with the XI 4.* codeline), and input controls dependencies is indeed listed with the highest priority on our improvement list (and more generally "context aware" input controls).
In the meantime, you may partly workaround the limitation, if you need to control 2 hierarchy levels, by defining an input control L1 to select first level, filtering a document area where you insert a table T2 listing entries for the second level.
Table T2 can be defined as input control (cf. table contextual menu) to filter another set of report elements.
For instance you can list all European countries with L1, set T2 to list European Cities, so when you select Norway from L1, you'd get T2 filtered to select only from Oslo, Stavanger, Narvik, Trondheim, etc.
(This behavior is currently restricted to an input control to a report element as input control only, i.e. no more than two hierarchy levels)
Hope that helps,
David.

Input Control Limit

Hi,
Is there any limit on the number of lines (entries/values) which an Input Control can display? I am having an Object which has over 2000 values but I am not able to see all the values in Input Control. It just stops at some number.
I changed the settings - 'Number of lines' but that too is not affecting the report. Universe Parameters Control settings are all unticked, so no restriction there.
Is there any setting for input control on server or CMC?
Edited by: dacoffee on Nov 2, 2011 11:09 AM

Please try the below steps i got from BOB.
Hope this helps...
To increase the limit, from the default of 1000, do the following:
[1] In the CMC, go to the Properties screen for the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[2] Modify the "List Of Values Batch Size (entries):" setting. The default is 1000. You can specify a value between 1000 and 65535 inclusive.
[3] Restart the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[4] Restart the "AnalyticalReporting" web application, or, restart Tomcat if you are unsure how to restart individual applications.
The change should now take effect when working with Input Controls in the InfoView WebI Viewer and WebI Java Applet.
If you need to modify the LOV limit in WebI Rich Client, work through the following steps.
[1] Open the webi_client_default_parameters.xml file in a text editor, such as notepad. The default location for the file, on windows, is as follows:
<drive>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\config\webi_client_default_parameters.xml
[2] Modify the following parameter:
Code:
<PARAMETER NAME="WebiParamListOfValuesBatchSize" VALUE="1000" TYPE="long" ADMIN="true" />
Modify the VALUE from the default of 1000.
[3] Save the file.
[4] Restart the WebI Rich Client

WEBI 3.1 Input Controls Label

I have a requirement to label all "Multi Select" input controls that filter my data block on the report itself. Traditionally, I have used DrillFilters() to label what drop-downs have been selected. Are there any options to do the same thing?
Thanks!

Hi Phil,
'Depending' or 'cascading' input controls is not yet supported, but we are working hard at providing that feature to a coming Web Intelligence release. Along with that important enhancement, we also would like to allow definition of input control on a wider scope than reports, i.e. any subset of report within a doc. As of now, input control can only be defined to control objects within a report (and not further).
Nevertheless, if you remain in the same report, you can define an input control to filter a report element, and set this report element (e.g. a simple table) to be an input control for another area in the report. This trick can help to mimic input control dependencies, but can still have some limitations leading to inconsistent results.
Hope that helps,
David.

Not allows to assign default value to input field using values in datastore

Hi Masters,
Consider that I have one input field in a form. I should assign default value to it. I should assign to it, the value which i have stored in a datastore. When i run the application, if i give default value as 123 ,then it is working fine i.e., it is showing 123 in the textfield in form , but if i give the default value as STORE@ProductId, then it is not displaying that value in the form.
Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards,
Kaushik Sreeram

Hi,
i faced this problem and here's what i concluded:
There's no way you can set default value for input field dynamicly, since the default value of input control is caculated only once (i think on initializing of the iView). The input control and the data store are initialized at the same time, STORE@productID is empty that time...
If you don't need to recieve value through the input field you're trying to initialize, but just to display the value from the store - I suggest you try using another control - Expression Box. It's value is calculated continiously, just like the Label's, and you can refere to it later.

Can we hide the real value of input text box and show other value in ADF?

Hi All,
I have a table in which i have one the column as "Quantity" and text box as "quantity" :-
<af:column sortProperty="quantity" filterable="true"
sortable="true" headerText="Quantity" id="c3"
width="60"
rendered="#{row.bindings.booleanFlag.inputValue != 'E'}"
filterFeatures="caseInsensitive">
<div align="center">
*<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.quantity.inputValue}"*
label="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.label}"
required="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.tooltip}"
id="it5" partialTriggers="it19"
readOnly="#{row.activeYN == 'N'}">
<f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.quantity.validator}"/>
<af:validateRegExp pattern="^[1-9]+[0-9]*$"
messageDetailNoMatch="Quantity must be in whole number format."/>
</af:inputText>
</div>
</af:column>
Now when the user will enter say 400 in input text box "quantity" , the value should be divided in the same row to other column text box say "conversion" which holds the value as 40 , so if the division doesn't give any remainder(means remainder =0 ) means real value(400/40) = 10 then it should set the value of input text box "quantity" as 10 but the user should be able to see 400 which he/she entered before, as we want to send the 10 as request but we have to show 400 to the user and if remainder goes greater than 1 than it should show an error.
I have to implement this in value change listener of the text box as i need to calculate the real value each time for a row.
How should i implement this ?
Thanks .
Thanks.

Thanks timo,
But can you give me full details how should i implement this as i am newbie to ADF. I have found the data control in Data controls tab in left hand side and right click on it -> edit definition -> but it does not give me the option to add attribute , it just give me the option to edit the existing attribute. Can you explain me how to add the transient attribute and how to implement it ? Any sample code snippet ?
Thanks.

Hi nitya,
I think u didnot get my requirement.
my requirement is i have an complete editable ALV with all fields as input fields.
now when i enter a value under material and press enter i need to capyure the
material value and based on the material value i need to get the details and populate all those values in the respective fields.
All i need to do is get the material number that is entered.
in the pdf of using ALV events it is such that editable cell editors trigger ON_DATA_CHANGED event and non-editable cell editors trigger ON_CLICK event.
But i couldnot find the ON_DATA_CHANGED event in the ALV events.
Help me out in finding the event.
