Disable selection on objects without locking them

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:15:17 GMT

Hi, i want to disable selection on objects without locking them; That means that the user can change the date from a calendar filter, but he can't for example change it from a graph (dimension date). So, how can i can just disable selection on the graph?

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to make your chart completely irrespective of the selections, you can right click on it and Detach. Detaching the chart will keep the state from when it is detached, if you do so when all values are possible, then you are done.

If it's only one field, or two fields that you want the chart to avoid changing, use set analysis for that, like the following example, that will sum up the values in the field Amount regardless the selections in CustomerID and EmployeeID:

Sum({< CustomerID =, EmployeeID = >} Amount)

The blanks at the right of the field names are on purpose.

Hope that helps.

Miguel
