N. Cube data.
Formulas N. Cube data calculated by formulas determined in the formula editor for calculated cube.

Time Series Database. The following options where N is time series database name are available:

Attributes N. Time series data as for the last revision by the Fact scenario with the Attributes additional dimension. As elements, the dimension contains all attributes of series level and observation level except for system attributes with multiple values.
If attribute is a link to a dictionary, all attributes the used dictionary will be displayed as children elements for it.
Value editing is available only for observation attributes.
Complete Data N. Time series data with the Revisions and Scenarios additional dimensions. The Revisions dimension provides access to the time series data as for various revisions. The Scenarios dimension provides access to time series data of various scenarios.
Value editing is not available.
Scenario Data N. Time series data as for the last revision with the Scenarios additional dimension. The Scenarios dimension provides access to the time series data of various scenarios.

NOTE. The Scenario data N option is available, if a time series database supports scenarios. For details see description of IRubricator.HasScenarioDimension.

N. Time series data by the Fact scenario with the Revisions additional dimension. The Revisions dimension provides access to the time series data as for various revisions.
Value editing is not available.

NOTE. Additional dimensions are displayed in the Selection side panel group of tabs.

Set values of express report parameters in the Parameters area.

To update express report data according to the set values, click the Apply Parameters button.

If the proper parameter is a dictionary drop-down list, configured for calendar dimension is selected as a parameter, on working with the parameter it is available to choose selection mode: By Elements Only, By Levels Only, or By Elements and Levels.
