Point of View Security Filters
The POV security filters can be found by clicking on the drill button of a user group.
Attributes
A POV security filter has the following attributes:
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Dimension | The dimension attribute contains the three character acronym of the cockpit dimension that should be filtered. Only when a dimension is mentioned in the list it will be filtered. By not specifying a specific dimension all members of that dimension will be displayed. |
| Dimension Member | Contains a dimension member of the specified dimension. This member (and its child members) will be always displayed in the POV bar. By specifying more than one member from one dimension a whole new structure can be generated like Europe West region and two individual countries (Poland and Ukraine) from the Europe East region. Instead of a particular dimension member, you can also select dimension variable, which saves the time, spent on maintenance by replacing many used dimension members with variables. |
Generations to include | Defines the number of child generations to include below the specified dimension member. By default this value is 'All'. By specifying a different value you are able to show for example the Europe entity with the sub regions: East Europe and West Europe, but not the individual countries of East and West Europe. |
Order | In case more than one member of the same dimension is used, the order field can be used to influence the order in which they are showed. |
Efficient Maintenance using membership of other groups
It could be that many user groups need a similar set of filters. For this specific reason you can create a base User Group and make other the other user groups member of this base user group The other user groups will inherit the security filters from the base group and you will only have to maintain the base group. Each group can than still have its own security filters next to the base filters. It is also possible to inherit security filters from a group that also inherited security filters from another group.
