Hyperlink and Input Control

Hi,
Right now am struck at creating input control. Basically, the requirement is we have a crosstab onto which we have 3 measures based on the equipment group and type as shown in the below screenshot. When we click on any values from Active assets it navigates to child report and shows the info about active assets. Similarly, when clicked on Cumulative MTBF it should navigate to the same child report and show the table related to Cumulative MTBF. Now in child report what condition should I place so that on click of any of the measure ,respective table should be popped up and other tables should be hidden in the child report.
Thanks & Regards,
Anila.

HI,

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

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.

Controlling the space between label and Input field in SELECT-OPTION

Hi ,
I am using WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS as a used component in order to dynamically generate the Select option in my WD Component.
Can any one tell me if there is a way to control the spacing between Label and Input field? This is because rest of the UI elements are in one particular order but for this dynamically generated UI.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
The label is required for accessibility reasons. It's not possible to remove it and to use your own label from outside the component to point to it. Labels cannot point to targets across views (and hence acress component) boundaries.
Best regards,
Thomas

How to add Tabs and List Boxes in Webi Report in Reporting Area(Not Report Filters & Input Controls)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to use some components called List Box and Tabs in my WebI report for presenting the information by dynamic dimension and measure selection using list box and segregate information by using Tabs as in below image.
Image was prepared in MSPaint not executable webi report.
Is it possible to integrate the list box and tabs into Report Zone in BO Webi? as show in below image?
Thanks in Advance
Muralidhar Reddy N

Hello Muralidhar Reddy,
The exact tool for your requirement is SAP BO Dashboard or SAP BO Design studio. WebI is a tool for ad-hoc reporting tool and we have limited functionalities to make dashboards using webI. You can have all those chart options in WebI and you can use Input controls or drill filters for restricting data. But you cannot have these selection components in reporting area. Tabs as shown in above post, you can have in bottom of the report.
find below a good example of dashboard using WebI

hope it helps

Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
But the left-click style supports touch.
One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
- it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.

Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open

Is there a way to select default Input Control values for a WebI document on Open ? I have a WebI document/report with no prompts in the query (as I don't want to restrict the data available on refresh) with input controls on Year and Month. The report is scheduled to refresh data each night. This is a standard public report that many users open as Read Only through an Opendoc URL hyperlink to the latest instance. I would like to always set the input control values to the current year and month so that the most current data is displayed on the report by default when it is opened as this is what the majority of users will want to see on the report.
I know that prompts can be used for the data filter but we do not want the data refreshed for each user as it is scheduled to refresh nightly and we want them to be able to change the input controls to view other years/months without requiring a refresh as these past months data is not dynamic.
Thanks, Faith

I meant the following:
When you are in the report editing mode at the top right corner of WebI window you can find the "Show/Hide report filter toolbar" button. After activation this feature you'll be able to drag your variables over the pane that appears.
If you are using input controls you can create new input controls based on this variables instead of controls based on Date, Month and Year dimensions and set the "Today", "Current month" or "Current year" as theirs default values.

Input Controls pane - How to force Input Controls pane to visible on WebI?

We are planning to distribute WebI reports to our users. The reports would be scheduled daily and the users would get an email containing a hyperlink to the Webi report. Upon clicking, the hyperlink it would launch the WebI and refresh data to the latest instance of the report.
Is there a way to force the Input Controls pane to visible on this report when users click on the link?
Thanks

Hi Rohit,
I do not think this can be set in WebI. Nevertheless, I understand this suggestion as a very interesting enhancement for the tool. What about submitting it on Idea Place?
Thanks for the suggestion and your interest with input controls,
David.

Can input controls be used to change sections?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to use the value of an Input Control to change the section dimension without having to create multiple copies of objects and hide/display them. I have a table with multiple measures and dimensions, including multiple dates (fiscal year, India fiscal year and calendar year). I want to section the report based on the input control selection so for ex, if the user selects fiscal year on the input control, the report sections are each fiscal year, if they select calendar year, the sections are each calendar year. I created a variable that uses a simple If statement to select the object based on the input control so for ex, if the input control selection is fiscal year, then the variable is equal to the fiscal year object. If I set the section header equal to the variable, it displays the different values in the header when I change the input control selection but it isn't really creating section blocks based on the object. Is this possible? It seems like it should be.

Let me share a PoC:
I have a block like:
Dim A
Dim B
Dim C
A1
B1
C1
A1
B2
C2
A2
B2
C1
A2
B2
C2
A2
B3
C1
A3
B1
C1
A3
B4
C1
A3
B5
C2
In Input Control I would like to have A/B/C option. Accordingly it will create section by Dim A/Dim B/Dim C.
Create two variables:
Input ="A"
Section =If([Input]="A";[Dim A];If([Input]="B";[Dim B];[Dim C]))
Now, I create a section on [Section] object.
Now, I create an Input Control on [Input] object:
Let us add custom list of values as below:
We are done !!!

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.

How to create HUs and input SNs for a Inbound Delivery by BDC or Function?

I need to create HUs and input SNs for Inbound Delivery Order as VL32N.
At first, I create a BDC program using T-code VL32N, it does work for a few HUs in one Order, but when there are more than 5 HUs in one order, the later can't be input by this program, because the table control of HUs only display 5 records in my screen, so it need page down during BDC process, while in Ttl content, there 16 rows displayed, it need page down after 8 records. But different user have different screen size, so my program doesn't work for all user.
What should we do for turn page in BDC program?
OR
Is there any function can be used for creating HUs and input SNs for Inbound Delivery?

How did you solve this issue, Can you give me some clue?

Mohan
