Dimensions Detailing

To set up navigation from dimension element to object that details its value, use the Detailing item in the dimension's context menu. For example, clicking the dimension element as a hyperlink enables the user to navigate from a registry data entry form to another data entry form presented as a card where information about selected element is detailed.

NOTE. Make sure that the Load Only Active Sheet checkbox is selected to speed up data entry form opening in multisheet data entry forms used for detailing.

Set dimensions detailing for:

Sidehead dimensions. To do this, select the Detailing item in the dimension's context menu in the table area editor.
Shared heading dimensions. To do this, select the Detailing item in the shared dimension's context menu in the table area editor.

After the Detailing item is selected, the dialog box opens:

Set up properties:

Open Repository Object. Select the repository object in the drop-down list, to which you will navigate by hyperlink. The list is displayed as a tree with all repository objects that are available for selection: MDM dictionaries, regular reports, data entry forms. Only one object can be selected.
Create and Delete Dictionary Elements. To activate the Add Element and Delete Element buttons that are available in the drop-down menu of the Table main menu item or the Table item in the table area element's context menu, select the Create and Delete Dictionary Elements checkbox. Use the buttons to add and delete elements in the table area containing dimensions with detailing. The element will be added to the dictionary root.

NOTE. When elements are added or deleted using the Add Element and Delete Element buttons, the table area is automatically refreshed.

Refresh Table Area on Closing Object. To refresh table area after closing the object, in which dimension elements were added or deleted, independently of object changes, select the Refresh Table Area on Closing Object checkbox. If the checkbox is deselected, the table area will be refreshed only if data was saved in the object. The checkbox becomes active after the Create and Delete Dictionary Elements checkbox is selected..
Custom Name. To explain created dimension with detailing, enter the name by selecting the Custom Name checkbox. The command is executed at the same time as the Create and Delete Dictionary Elements command. If the checkbox is deselected, the default name will match with the dimension name, for which detailing is set up.
