Hello,

Is there a way to save the active cycle group dimension as happening for current selections in bookmark ?

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Andrea

if we select any pick dimensions including cyclic group and mark a bookmark, the cyclic group dimensions will alos be saved in to the bookmark.

Looks like bookmark saves the selected field value state. Since Cyclic group does not do any value selection (which happens in Drill group) so the state of the cyclic group cannot go to a bookmark.

The main purpose is to enable the user to create a bookmark including the cycle group state.

In this way the user is not required to manually select the dimension after calling the bookmark.

I know but it'd be very useful for the user.

Check 'Include Layout State' while creating bookmark. It will store the information of cycilc group.

I read "the cycling position of a chart" in the help regarding bookmark creation but it's not clear, for sure it doesn't works using version 11.20 SR7.

For me, with 11.20 SR6 it works.

Did you try with Desktop, AJAX or both?

Include Layout State (as suggested by tresesco) while creating bookmark works for me too.

Yes I just created a new simple document and it's works also for me.

So I have to understand why it's not working on my document.

I'll let you know the reason.

do you mean to say that on your old document even after you enable Include Layout State while creating the bookmark, the bookmark did not save the Cyclic group values?

Taking a look at DocInternals.xml I noted the following:

</GroupBookmarkData>

</GroupBookmarkData>

</Groups>

The CyclePos settings is wrong, it should be equals to 5.

I also noted the bookmark doesn't works only if the straight table is inside a container object.

Really very strange!

I tried to replicate the same behaviour on a new document but with no luck because it's working well as expected.

It seems to be something related the previous product version that I used to create the document.

How can I do to fix it on the customer document?

Finally I found the BUG, it's related with the first dimension in cyclic group only.
