I don't think so. I tried to find a property or something in that Input Control but there is nothing to set it that way.

Dropdown list with custom All Values option

Hi,
We are running VC on 7.4 SP2. I have a dropdown list which gets its' values from a BW query. This works great except that I want to add a custom entry which selects all values.
In BW you would do this by setting the selection variable to "" as in nothing specified/empty. This is also the default setting in VC (you made no selection so you will get all results) but once you select something this can not be deselected.
So the idea is to add a custom entry All with value "" but apparently this gets send to BW as """" which is not a valid value. VC does not allow to use an empty value field.
So basically I am stuck here. Any of you found a solution to this problem?
regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I see your point. I could suggest two options:
1. In the dropdown input control, delete the value. Then press submit.
This works fine, only we don't get the empty value in the list.
2. To have the empty value in the list, like this:
Add to the entries of the list:
Then edit the mapping to the service to convert * into an empty string:

How to remove all values from column

Hi all
I have one table and in that i have one column which contain some null value.now i want add a not null constraint on that column but it already contain null values.
how shuld i delete that column value only or how should i proceed now please help me

What do you mean by REMOVE?
All values for that column are null or not? if not, then can those value removable?
NULL means no value, how can you remove non-existing value?
Update the null column to default value is one way.
the other is to drop the column and add it again together with your not -null constraint.
But I definitely wouldn`t recommend this approach in your case since some of your records have values for that column.

Why do I occasionally lose all the tags from my inbox messages, when I haven't selected the remove all tags option?

I'm running TB 31.0 on a Win7 laptop. This is a university work account, which is an IMAP type of account.

From what I could gather talking to the tech folks, it does, but it's pretty basic.

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.

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.

How to pass Default value of a cell in to input control

Hello Guys,
We have a WEBI which has a floating cell and populated as Today's Date everyday when user runs it. Now user wants little modification and wants Input control for Date. He also wants to pass on the values selected in input control to that floating cell. How can I do that?
Any suggestions?

Aj

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.
Cheers,
Madhu

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

Is it possible to enter "Input Control" values on the report prompts screen? How?

Our report users are used to enter their parameters on the prompt.
I have created a new report on WEBI XI 3.1. and this report has some prompts and also input controls.
That means, when the user wants to run the report they have to enter their parameters on the report prompt and then they have to navigate to the input control and select the values.
That makes them feel like they are entering parameters twice for a report.
Is there any way the initial value for an input control can be entered on a report prompt screen?
So, the user enters the values of the prompt and the initial values of the input controls together only once at the prompt screen?

Thank you very much for the confirmation Amit.
Yes, I considered adding a prompt instead of an input control but this input control selects data based on a custom calculation performed in a variable at the report level. To create a prompt on the query I would have to make the calculation at the universe level.
Anyway, it seems 'Input Control" may be a useful tool for our reports, so we decided to get our report users accustomed to the input control tool.
Thanks again for the help.

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 Control in View mode

Hello all,
When I right click and "modify" my report i am able to set up my input controls. My question is that when I try to open my report by right click "View" mode, I dont have any option to change the values set in the Input controls.
The report is only displaying what is set already. Is there any way for a user that only opens the report in view mode, change the values of the input controls?
Thanks in advance!
Niraj

Hello,
Thanks for both replies!!!
I am still not able to locate the Input controls in "View" mode. Once I open the report, in the left panel is showing a Navigation Map. Only options I see are down below where I can switch to "User Prompt Input", there it only shows me the prompt that I have in place upon refresh, and Binocular Icon for search. Otherwise, no other options available; I must be missing something. I am unable to see any other settings regarding input controls. Do you think that it may have to do with some setting in the CMS?
Any more feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Niraj

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 !!!

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.
