How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places:  either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel.  If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage.  If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved.  If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system).  Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,
John

  • Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
    With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
    However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
    It would be great if someone could help me out with this!
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi,
    we could resolve this issue, so i thought it may also be helpful for others:
    In our example we used a file with numbers for materials. This file is stored somewhere in a directory, to which SAP BI must have authorization to read.
    The file looks something like this:
    4711

    4713

    You please try the following steps:
    1. Say the InfoObject is 0EMPLOYEE against which you have created the variable, which user is trying to select value against, when they execute the report.
    2. Goto RSA1-> InfoObject tab-> Select InfoObject 0EMPLOYEE.
    3. Selcet the following options:
       Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn  -  'Only Posted Value for Navigation'
       Filter Value Repr. At Query Exec. -      'Selector Box Without Values'
    Please let me know if there is any more issue. Feel free to raise further concern

  • Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

    I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

  • How to include Navigational attribute in the selection screen

    Hello All,
    Can any body please tell me how to include a navigational attribute in the selection screen in BEX?

    Let´s go step by step.
    In your example, you mentioned the characteristic called 0MAT_PLANT.  Its navegational attributes are allocated in the same dimension the main characteristic belongs.  So 0MRP_CONTRL, as a navegational attr. must be allocated in the same dimension as 0MAT_PLANT.
    1) In query designer in Bex (left pane) find the dimension where 0MAT_PLANT is allocated.  Find the navegational attr. in the same dimension, 0MRP_CONTRL.  Pls verify you are looking to a navegational attribute, activate technical names and the name of the attr must be 0MAT_PLANT__0MRP_CONTRL.
    2) Below the attribut (still left pane) you will find a Variable icon (yellow).  If you see the "+" symbol, it means that at least one variable exists (standar or not).  Open it and check if the variable suits your requeriment to set it in selection screen.  If not, create a new one (let me know if you need help with this task).
    3) Once you have your variable for the navegational attribute, drag and drop it to the design area (row, column, filter).
    4) Verify the order you want this variable to appear from the menu bar: Query properties -> Sequence of Entry Variables.
    Hope this helps.  Leticia

    Help please.
    Thanks.

    Rani,
    Basically its not suggestable by SAP that to modify the variable screen, since that has been directly delivered by SAP Object... If you still wants to modify the variable screen then your F4 will not work ijn the variable screen... Usually dont go and modify your variable screen..

  • Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

    Hi Experts,
    I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
    I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
    I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
    If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
    Points will be assigned.

    Hello,
    To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
    Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
    Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
    http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
    The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
    You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

    Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
    Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
    For creating the Web Template..
    Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
    in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
    for that first you have to do
    <object>
    <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
    <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
    <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
    <param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
    <param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
    DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
    </object>
    now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
    you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
    while saving this save it in a role.
    If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
    After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
    After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

  • How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

    Hello everybody,
       I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query. But as I select values for my variable when I execute the query, all the display attribute of 0CALMONTH displayed in the select screen, just like Calendar Year/Month Text, Calendar Year Key, Calendar month key, Number of Days Key, Number of Workdays Key...But I think just display Calendar Year/Month Text in the select screen is enough, how do I just display necessary attributes in the variable selection screen, not all the display attributes of 0CALMONTH?
