Navigation Pane Item

Question

Hi,
  We are facing an issue with the u201CNavigation Paneu201D web item, because we want to create a set of general u201CNavigations Panesu201D  (Product, Customer,u2026) that would be re-usables on various reports.
The issue is that when a u201CNavigation Paneu201D have one or more characteristics that are not included in the DataProvider of each report, this characteristics arenu2019t showed,  and thatu2019s ok, but when a u201CNavigation Paneu201D havnu2019t included all the characteristics from de DataProvider,  the Navigation Pane
is still visible.
The question is How we can hide the u201CNavigation Paneu201D, when it havenu2019t characteristics to show?
Regards.

Answer 1

Hi,
Here is the solution for your question.
1.Lets say DP_1(first query) has the charateristics Ch1,Ch2 and Ch3
2.Open a workbook and insert a Grid and assign the DP_1
3.Insert a Navigation Pane and assign the DP_1
Now the data of DP_1 will be shown in the grid and the Characteristics Ch1,Ch2 and Ch3 will be shown in the navigation pane
4.Insert a button item and go to it's Properties dialog->Select Data Provider Specific Command->Next->Select Assign Query/Query View->assign the second DP say DP_2(second query)->Finish
5.Switch to Analysis Mode
6.Click the Button
Now the Navigation Pane won't be shown since the DP_2 is assigned to the Grid and Navigation Pane which doesn't have characteristics Ch1,Ch2 and Ch3
Grid will show the data of DP_2 and the Navigation Pane won't be displayed.
Hope this will help u.
