Element selection synchronization between sheets is available in regular reports in the desktop application, express reports, dashboards.
Selection synchronization can be used to control dimension element selection in several sheets simultaneously.
To synchronize dimension element selection:
in regular reports create links between data slices. For detailed description of synchronization process see the Dimension Synchronization in Data Slices and Report Dimension Synchronization sections.
In express reports assign to dimensions the same synchronization group in the drop-down menu of the
Synchronization button on the Selection ribbon tab.
NOTE. The Selection ribbon tab is available if the Selection group of tabs is selected on the side panel. The Synchronization button is available if a report contains more than one sheet.
After this, changing selection in one of group dimensions results in setting the same modified selection in all dimensions of the group.
To set up the current synchronization groups, use the Set Up Synchronization dialog box. To open the dialog box, select the Set Up item in the drop-down menu of the
Synchronization button on the Selection ribbon tab.
In dashboards create links between blocks. For detailed description of synchronization process see the Setting Up Data Source Dimension Synchronization section.
One can also use metrics synchronization along with selection synchronization.
