List

Use this drop down list to select a different business area (for more information about business areas, see "What are business areas?"). This drop down list is only active when you have access to more than one business area.

Hint: If you cannot see the business area that you want to analyze, make sure that you selected the correct connection when you started Discoverer Plus Relational. If necessary, exit Discoverer Plus Relational and re-start Discoverer Plus Relational using a different connection that has access to the business area you want to analyze.

Click the flashlight button next to the List field to display the "Find dialog (in Item Navigator)", which enables you to search any business area for items that you want to add to the worksheet.

Use this list to see the items available for use in the worksheet, and to add and remove items to and from the worksheet. You can also use options on the Available Items toolbar to create new items (e.g. new calculations or conditions) and edit existing items. For more information about options on the Available Items toolbar, see "Available Items pane".

Hint: To locate an item quickly when the focus is on the <Items list>, type the first letter of the item or folder that you want to locate. The next item or folder beginning with the typed letter is highlighted. For example, type 'r' to locate the Region item.

Click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons next to folders and items to expand and collapse them.

To add an item to the worksheet, do one of the following:

drag and drop an item from the Items tab into the worksheet area
drag and drop an item from the Items tab into the Selected Items pane (if displayed)
select an item and click the Add to Worksheet button on the Available Items toolbar (for more information, see "Available Items pane").
right-click on an item and select Add to Worksheet from the right-click menu
drag and drop an item from the Available Items pane to the Selected Items pane (if both panes are displayed)

To edit or remove an item, do one of the following:

select an item and click the Edit button on the Available Items toolbar (for more information, see "Available Items pane").
select an item and click the Remove from Worksheet button on the Available Items toolbar (for more information, see "Available Items pane").

To select more than one item at a time, hold down the control key (Ctrl) when you select items. Items currently displayed on the worksheet are marked with a tick symbol (or check mark).
