To work with the tool in Foresight Analytics Platform 10, use the new interface.
When setting up sidehead structure in the table area wizard of data entry form, select the sidehead dimensions elements:
Select elements displaying in table area sidehead by using dimension elements selection.
To select dimension elements, use the Available Dimensions area:
Select a group of elements in the Groups of Elements dimension context menu. Groups of elements selection is not a mandatory step.
Set selection of dimension elements. To do this:
Select the Edit item in the dimension's context menu.
Select the selection schema in the Selection Schema drop-down list in the dimension's context menu.
Select alternative hierarchy to display alternative dictionary elements, instead of the elements of the dictionary that is used to build a sidehead, or set up dynamic selection of alternative hierarchy depending on the parameter attribute by specifying alternative hierarchy option in the Alternative Hierarchies dialog box. To open the dialog box select the Alternative Hierarchies item in the dimension's context menu:
Set:
Alternative Hierarchy Type. Select the radio button of the required option: fixed, dynamic, or none. Alternative hierarchy is not applied by default.
Alternative Hierarchy Source. It depends on the selected type of alternative hierarchy:
If the Fixed type is selected, the alternative hierarchy source is a dictionary. Select the available dictionary in the drop-down list or click the Search button and start typing dictionary name. Only one dictionary can be selected.
If the Dynamic type is selected, the alternative hierarchy source is parameter. Select the data entry form parameter attribute in the drop-down list or click the Search button and start typing parameter name. When the dynamic type of alternative hierarchy is selected, the sidehead is rebuilt depending on the selected attribute value. If attribute value of the selected parameter element is not an alternative hierarchy key, the appropriate message is displayed. When this option is selected, the Selection Schema and Group of Elements options are not available even if grouping is available for this dimension.
TIP. For details about setting up dynamic selection of alternative hierarchy depending on parameter attribute, see the How to Set Up Dynamic Changing of Displayed Sidehead Dimension Elements article.
If the None type is selected, the list is not available.
If dictionary or parameter attribute is not selected as an alternative hierarchy data source, clicking the OK button applies the main hierarchy.
If the dictionary attribute that was set as an alternative hierarchy key, is deleted, the first opening of the data entry form displays the message about deleting attribute and applying the main hierarchy for change.
TIP. For details about how to set up dimension parameter management, see the Advanced Settings of Sidehead Structure article.
Execute these operations for each dimension.
NOTE. The Alternative Hierarchies, Selection Schema, Groups of Elements items are available if alternative hierarchies, selection schema, group of elements are set up in dictionaries.
If on setting up sidehead dimension elements, the alternative hierarchy, group of elements, advanced filter and selection schema were selected, then they will be applied in the following order:
Alternative hierarchy.
Group of elements.
Advanced filter.
Selection schema.
