Member selection in data forms

Hi
We have Program and Queue dimendions in our application.
When we implement the security on Program dimension then the user will be able to see only the programs related to him.
We can extend the security to Queue dimension such that the user will be able to view the queues that are related to him.
In this way we can restrict the number of programs and queues that get listed in the drop down in a data form.
But suppose a user has access to 5 programs and each program has 4 queues then all the 20 queues will get listed in queue drop down box irrespective of which one of the five program he has selected in the program drop down box.
But the user wants in a way that If he selects a particular program only the respective queues should display.
Is this possible?

How can I fix the 1st column width (member) in Planning data forms

Hi all,
does anybody know a trick, how I can fix the first column width in planning data forms? I need a composite data form (Planning 9.3.1) and the problem is, that in the first form the member names are longer. So Planning sizes the column as it is needed to display the full member name. The member names of the second data form are shorter, so the data entry cells are not exactly among each other for both data forms and that looks terrible....
Thanks and kind regards
André

There are 3 ways of setting the width in webforms:-
1. There is a global setting for input box length which has a syntax of FormInputBoxLength=30.
2. When you specify the format for each of the dimensions you can choose to select the width of either a column heading or a row heading. In the following example, each time you specified the dimension ‘Account’ a format would be applied to its header. The syntax for this would be something like… HeaderOptionAccount=Length:50,Style:font-size: 12pt;font-family: calibri
3. Each column can have its own width specified. The syntax for this can be setting in each of the column’s code. For example C6=Blank,Style:Background-color:rgb(203,218,231);width:3 would just show a thick vertical line as the width is so small.
You can not set widths in data grids through the normal settings. You can manually change the widths and save the grid though. This can be done in the xml directly. For example… <HDRWIDTH idx=”0″ width=”50″/>.
Then load the amended xml file back into the system.

Member range in Data Forms

We have recently upgraded from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 and have noticed some errors on our data forms in Planning.
We have created 12 Essbase substitution variables to handle the periods in our rolling forecasts (mon1, mon2, mon3, mon4, mon5, mon6, mon7, mon8, mon9, mon10, mon11, mon12).
All data forms have been configured to use the variables as the period, i.e. in the data grid we set the columns to contain period data and the values to to be "mon1, mon2, mon3, mon4, mon5, mon6, mon7, mon8, mon9, mon10, mon11, mon12"
In certain scenarios we don't forecast all 12 months. In this case the process has been to set all "extra" months to the last forecasted month. For example if we were to forecast Jan through Jun the variables mon1 through mon6 will contain Jan through Jun and the variables mon7 through mon12 will contain the value Jun.
In system 9 in case the forms only display the period Jun once, but in system 11 the period Jun is shown once for each time the variable is in the form.
System9:
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun
System11:
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jun|Jun|Jun|Jun|Jun|Jun
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
This was a trick that worked fine until 11.1.1.3. It should supposedly work fine in the latest version if Oracle did not fix some things for the worse. I can't really say I've tested this but I would advise you to check couple of things.
In order this to work as expected, all subs. variables that you want repetitions be suppressed should be placed in the same column piece. Placing them in individual columns would result in repeating them multiple times. Meaning, if you place for example year 2 and all months subs. variables in the same column Planning should display the repeated period references once only.

BegBalance Member Input on Data Form

Hello All-
I have member "Begbalance" in my Time period dimension. If i select that member on form it Greens out all the cells. However if i select "dec" instead of begbalance member the form shows me yellow cell. How can i let the form select
the member begbalance on form and have the same yellow cells as in case for dec. I am on Planning 9.3.1.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you go to the administration of your scenario dimension, edit a scenario member e.g the member that is on your form. make sure "Include BegBal as Time Period" is ticked.
Cheers

Error when opening large data forms

Hi,
We are working on a Workforce planning implementation. We have 2 large custom defined dimensions.
When opening large data forms we get a standard "Error has occurred" error. If we reduce the member selection the data form opens fine.
Is anyone aware of a setting that can be increased to open large data forms? Im not referring to the "Warn id data form is larger than 3000 cells" setting.
Im pretty sure there is a parameter that can be increased but I cant find it.
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Hi Seb,
If you do find the magic parameter then let us know because I would be interested to know.
It is probably something like ALLOW_LARGE_FORMS = true :)
In the planning logs is the error related to planning or is essbase related error.
Is it failing due to the amount of rows or is it because it is going beyond the max of 256 columns ?
Cheers

Security and/or filtering error in data form creation

Hi,
I am getting this error when I am trying to preview my data form.
This is the first time I am creating an application and data form in Hyperion.
The data form is multicurrency and plan type is Plan1.
Row:
Account members: Descendants(Account)
Column:
Year:Descendants(FY10)
Period:Descendants(YearTotal)
Page Dimension(s)
Entity:Descendants(Entity)
Scenario:Current
Version:BU Version_1
POV:
Currency:USD
Disabled all options in "Other options" and Not selected any business rukes.
When selecting preview data form I am getting below error:
Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form
I have not selected any security/filter settings as of now. Please suggest whats causing this.
Thanks,

Hi Jake,
I did what you suggested,but I am still getting same error.
Here I would like to point out that. I have selected my application to support multicurrency, but 'HSP_RATES' does not come in Dimension selection drop down. I can see 'HSP_RATES' in Performance settings tab, but I cant see it in Dimensions tab or Evaluation order tab.
Is this causing problem? Should I add it manually?
Thanks,
Rajni.

How to show two different aliases in planning data form

I have two alias members in the Alias dimension-Default,alias-1.
Alias is associated with all the dimensions.
For ENTITY dimension i have values for both the aliases.
Now my requirement is to show Default alias member in one planning data form and alias-1 member in another data form.
How can this be achieved ?

If this is a consistant requirement, you could create another alias table and assign the aliases as a concatenation of the two aliases you need to see at the same time.
IOW, export both tables, and in excel or a text editor, concatenate the two existing aliases for each member into one string, then import that list into yet another alias table.

Selecting a member range on Planning Data Forms?

Hi all,
Can somebody confirm it is not possible to select a range as a member on a Planning Data form?
Here is my situation:
Description: On a planning form we would like to populate forecast months. Currently planners can input data to six months: Jul-Dec. In October, we will change it to Oct:Dec.
Issue: For each data form, we need to manually add/remove members.
Failed attempt: Created a SubVar and assigned the following range: &CurFstMo:Dec. Of course it failed :)
Work around: I think the easiest solution is to display 12 monts and change the start and end date for Forecast scenario. I need to check with the planners if they'd be ok with displaying all 12 months other than just the input months.
Can you think of another solution?
Thanks,
Mehmet

Select Members in Data Forms via UDA or Substitutionvariable

Hello,
I want to select members in row or colum dimension of a Planning data form via an UDA. But it is only possible to select members via hierarchy (member, sibling, parent,...).
Is there a possibility to select members via UDA?
What I tried is:
1.) in the definition of the dimension members for the dimension "Period" in the data form I filled in: "@UDA(Period,FC01)".
I get the error "The member @UDA(Period does not exist or you do not have access to it."
2.) Instead of the UDA I tried to use a Substitutionvariable "&PER_LIST"
This works if the Substitutionvariable contains only one member. It doesn't work if it contains more than one member (comma-separated list).
I get the error: "A substitution variable required for this calculation is undefined. Variable: PER_LIST" (even though the variable exists and I selected it in the member selection dialog)
Can anyone help? I'm using Hyp. System 9.3.1.
Thanks in advance,
Nicole

I would love to see the ability to select EDA's from Planning Forms, it would definately make life a little easier.
As CL says, attributes are great at filtering forms and BR's, their only drawback is that you can only use them on sparse dimensional members.
To get round this problem i've relied on security to filter out the accounts i do not need to see in the forms for the specific users, and kept the form selection on @IDESCENDANTS(Account_Parent).
If you wish to filter on the Period dimension and this is a dense dimension, can you not get round the problem with rollups and, for example, @DESCENDANTS(Q1) to only return 3 months in the form, it really depends on your outline structure.

Member selection (Member + UDA) on Planning Web-forms

Hi all,
Is it possible to select members and UDAs together on Planning Web-forms similar to member selection on Financial Reports?
Example:
Members: ILvl0Descendants ("Total Net Income")
UDA: ALLOCACT
I didn't see this option on the member selection window, but I wanted to make sure that I am not missing anything.
Thanks,
Mehmet

Hi,
UDA does not work in data forms. If you want that property to be there in the data form, please create an attribute dimension with the same children as UDA and attach the attribute members to that dimension.
Thanks.

Member Lists defined by user in Data Grids or Data Forms

Hi guys,
I'd like to know if it is possible to include in either a Data Form or a Data Grid a member list created by myself.
If it's possible, could you please tell me the steps to do so? I tried using AddMember:MemberList but it did not work.
Thanks!

Hi,
We can see this option in the Member Attributes of Dimensions.
Specifies the account name used for identifying differences in intercompany transactions. The PlugAcct
attribute is required when the IsICP attribute for the account is selected.
When we run an inter-company transaction the difference amount would be reflected in Plug Account.We need to write a rule to see that difference amount in the plug Account.

Selection of ICP and custom dimension in data forms

We are investigating the possibility of changing our divisional reporting – and we are looking into different possible solutions. Maybe you can help us?
We eliminate on both ICP and divisions (custom1= division, custom2= divisional counterpart).
We have 150 ICP entities and (in the future maybe) 100+ divisional counterparts (custom2). However, one entity only has 10-15 divisions (and not 100+).
Do you know of a smart way to choose ICP entity and custom2 in a data form – so the reporting will be easy for the reporting companies?
Ideally I would like to be able first to select ICP entity (add member function) and then at the same time select a custom2 (divisional counterpart) – but only choose between those custom2/divisions that the company has. I do not think you can add member functions for both ICP and Custom2 at the same time in a data form?
Do you have any suggestions?

We thought about that solution but it would not follow good metadata structure (more like Hyperion Enterprise). We are hoping for a clever solution to make the webforms work.

Filter Data with Date range.Dates are selected in user form

Does anybody could help me to create a user form, that user could select the date and time from either calendar or other control button (from Userform control Toolbox) and the VBA code would filter the data on Excel SpreadSheet depending on input...
I want user to specify start time and the end time, that I would know the period of time which is on interest and filter the data depending on inputs...
This is part of my table on Sheet1:

How about this?
Right-click your tab name, and paste this code into the window that opens.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Or _
Target.Address = "$G$1" Then
Range("Database").AdvancedFilter _
Action:=xlFilterInPlace, _
CriteriaRange:=Range("Criteria"), Unique:=False
End If
End Sub
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

How to change the order of parent member on data forms

Hi,
Is there any way to show parent on top of its children in data form row level?
By default data form display members like this:
__Child 1
__Child 2
+Parent
Instead of above i want this sequence:
+Parent
__Child 1
__Child 2

Have a read of
Can we change the display order of member set functions like @Idescendant?
