Example:
Depending on the list dimension chosen for a specific list, the first column(s) will be the dimension(s) which is chosen for each item. In the example above, that is the Account dimension.
List Attributes
In this List of attributes the basic and advanced attributes are listed. Additionally, if any values are available for the attribute, a direct link to an example on how this value affects the preview of the report is listed.
Basic Attributes
List Attribute | Description | Available Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|
Empty | By setting this attribute to yes, the line will be shown as empty. This means that no data will be queried and only the label/custom description will be showed. | No, Yes | No |
Comment | By enabling the comment option, the end user can add custom comments on the whole row. | No, Yes | No |
Visible | By setting this attribute to no, the line will be hidden. Hiding a line can be useful for a calculation step in a formula. | Yes, No | Yes |
Custom Description | The custom description overrides the default generated name. You can use either a fixed text or a Dynamic Label Expression | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Name | The default name of the item is displayed. | n/a | n/a |
Formula | By specifying a formula this line will be calculated. | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Format | The format attribute will specify the look and feel of the row. This format is not applied to the header of the row, but only to its values. | Default, Default_bold, Default_left, ... | Default Format |
Order | Use the order attribute to reorder the rows. | 1, 2, 3... | Max + 1 |
Advanced Attributes
To access the advanced attributes, the Advanced button marked on the image above should be selected.
List Attribute | Description | Available Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|
Header Format | The format will specify the look and feel of header format, defines how the row header should be formatted. The available values are identical with the ones used by the "Format" attribute, but applied only on the row header. | Default, Default_bold, Default_left, ... | Default Format |
Drill | By assigning a drill list to a row, a drill icon will appear in front of the line in the report. This drill list allows the end-user to drill to that list. | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Reverse Valuation | When this attribute is set to yes, the Valuation will be reversed. This means negative becomes positive and the other way around. Changing the valuation is possible only when the Valuation is set to Positive or Negative and will influence the variance coloringcolouring. If the Valuation is set to "NotSet", the Reverse Valuation cannot be changed. | No, Yes | No |
Valuation | The value of the valuation is inherited from the underlying system and cannot be directly changed. | n/a | n/a |
Reverse Sign | When this attribute is set to yes, the sign will be flipped. | No, Yes | No |
Suppress Value | This value sets automatic row suppressing, click on the type to see the suppressing options. | None | |
Variance Threshold | Threshold value for the Variance (e.g., Actual vs. Budget). If the Variance is less than this Threshold, then a neutral variance color is used (Orange). Otherwise Red (indicating an unfavorable variance) or Green (favorable variance) is used. Use e.g. -200;300 for an absolute threshold or -10%;20% for a relative threshold. | Empty, Populated | Empty |
Suppress Variance | Allows you to set the conditions for not suppressing the Variance, by using a pick list | SuppressNoBaseOrReference NoSuppress, SuppressNoBase, SuppressNoReference | SuppressNoBaseOrReference |
