Available Values

Default

Empty

Empty tree members are not shown on the value tree.

No, Yes

No

Visible

By setting this attribute to no, the tree member will be hidden. Hiding a tree member can be useful for a calculation step in a formula.

Yes, No

Custom Description

The custom description overrides the default generated name. You can use either a fixed text
OrderUse the order attribute to reorder the rows.1, 2, 3...Max + 1
Item LabelThe default name of the item is displayed.n/an/a
Dimension1 ...Dimension nA column for each of the dimension on which the list is created. A member or a variable can be selectedMember or a Variablen/a
DrillBy 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. If a dimension member of an item is a parent in the dimension hierarchy then the end user can also assign a dynamic drill to an item instead of another list.Empty, PopulatedEmpty

Advanced Attributes

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.

Header

FormatThe /wiki/spaces/CXO60/pages/43811292 will specify the look and feel of the tree member

The 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
_leftNo

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 will influence the variance coloring.

No, Yes

Item TypeDetermines the Type of the ItemLabel Only, Data, CommantData

Reverse Sign

When this attribute is set to yes, the sign will be flipped.

No, YesNo
Variance ThresholdRedirect Report Name
Visible

Threshold value for the Variance (e.g., Actual vs. Budget). If the Variance is less than the 1st threshold value, then Red (indicating an unfavorable variance) is used. If the Variance is greater than the 2nd threshold value, then Green (favorable variance) is used. And if Variance is between the 2 threshold values, Orange (neutral variance) is used. Use, for example, -200;300 for absolute thresholds or -10%;20% for relative thresholds.

Redirect ReportUse this field to select an existing report that will be available through a hyperlink.Empty, PopulatedEmpty

Note: When you redirect to a report of type Multi-Column and that report has the same Value Tree List as an Item Selector, the Multi-Column report will automatically select the tree member where it was redirected from.
