A data consumer can be selected and set up on the Consumer page in the aggregation block editing wizard:
To select and set up a data consumer:
Set up filtering of the selected dimension. To do this:
Click the Set Filter button.
Double-click the dimension with the main mouse button.
The Set Up Filtering dialog box opens, in which determine data consumer dimension filtering settings.
As a result, the data consumer in the aggregation block is set up.
To select dimension elements, by which a block should be calculated, use the Set Up Filtering dialog box:
Setup order:
Select elements, by which a block should be calculated. Select one of the radio buttons:
All Elements. A block is calculated by all dimension elements.
Selected Elements. A block is calculated by dimension elements selected in this list.
From Parameter. A block is calculated by elements specified by a parameter. The option is available if a block contains parameters.
If it is required that a block is calculated by all the elements except for the selected ones, select the Exclude Selected Elements checkbox.
To set the conditions, with which element attributes must satisfy on block calculation, use the Advanced Filter group of parameters. Working with this group of parameters is similar to working with the Advanced Filter dialog box.
