About using conditions

Worksheets can contain conditions defined by you, by the Discoverer manager, or by other Discoverer users. Conditions work as follows:

• If you have the privileges to edit a worksheet, you select which conditions to apply to the worksheet.

• When you create a condition, the condition is available to all worksheets in the workbook. You apply the condition to individual worksheets.

• If none of the existing conditions filter the data exactly as you want, you can create your own conditions and apply them to the worksheet.

• To apply conditions more flexibly, you can use parameters to give workbook users a choice of what data to display on a worksheet (for more information, see "Using parameters").

• Conditions created when a parameter is added to a worksheet are automatically selected when the parameter is turned on, and automatically deselected when the parameter is turned off.
