Bridge Control
Parameters
The report parameters define the look & feel and behavior of a report.
Basic Template Parameters
Parameter  | Description | Mandatory |
|---|---|---|
Title | Title of the Bridge | No |
| Begin and End | Select a List containing the Dimension-Members for the Start/Reference and the End/Base of the Bridge (e.g. Budget and Actual) | Yes |
| Movements | Select a List which contains the Bridge movement values for the calculation of the Movements that explain the difference between Base and Reference (e.g., Child-Entities, Products, Sub-Accounts). The Movements-list can also be a dynamic list. The sum of the Movements (Main Entity, Product Group, Main Account) should be specified in the Dimension Settings of the Report or in an Item Selector connected to the Bridge to insure the movements equal the difference between Base and Reference. | Yes |
