The Conditional Navigation Properties frame enables users to dynamically create a uniform navigation structure for dashboards, by enabling only specific frames to be visible when certain query limits are selected.
To configure the Conditional Navigation Properties, the component must first be merged with an Interactive Reporting Studio document (see Merging Components). And query limits must be available.
To create the query limits:
Merge the component, Conditionalnavigation_component.bqy with an ESM; for example, Sample_en_esm.bqy.
See Merging Components.
From Sections, select a query.
For example, select Sales Query.
Drag columns from the topics onto the Filter line; for example, select and drag State.
Filter is displayed.
Optional: If Sample.oce is displayed, click OK without entering any data.
In Filter, click Show Values and select one or more values.
For example, select AZ and CA.
Click OK.
Click Process on the Interactive Reporting Studio toolbar.
The results are displayed and query limits are set.
To use query limits to create conditional navigation:
Use the Interactive Reporting Studio document that contains query limits, and navigate to Conditional Navigation Properties.
To access the configuration frame, use Sections or the Configuration drop-down list found in Dashboard Studio.
From Query Limits, select an option.
All query limits—Displays all query limits
Configured query limits—Displays only query limits for which at least one conditional navigation specification exists
Unconfigured query limits—Displays only query limits for which no conditional navigation specifications exist
These options filter query limits that are displayed in Select a Query Limit, which is created when searching for query limits in queries, data models, and appended queries.
Select a query limit in preparation for configuring how a selected value will dynamically change the navigation structure.
Optional: Select an option:
Enter one or more Query Limit Values separated by ++, and manually enter the values
Select an existing Query Limit Value, and from the drop-down list, select a value
Control the types of Available Sections by selecting or clearing the section check boxes.
Available Sections are not displayed in the navigation structure of the dashboard.
Move selected sections to be set as Fixed Navigational Items by clicking (next to Fixed Navigational Items).
Fixed Navigational Items are displayed in the navigation structure no matter which query limits are selected.
Move selected Available Sections to associate with the entered or selected query limit value, by clicking (next to Conditional Navigation Items).
Conditional Navigation Items display in the navigation structure if the associated query limit is selected. These items are added only if a query limit is selected and if a value for that query limit is specified. See steps 4 and 5 in this procedure.
Query Limit _:_ Limit Value _:_ Section refers to the query limit chosen in Select a Query Limit, the limit values specified in Enter a new Query Limit Value or Select an existing Query Limit Value, and the dashboard frame that is displayed.
Optional: Reorder selected items in Fixed Navigational Items or Conditional Navigation Items by selecting an item and clicking or
.
Perform an action:
To discard all current entries and to reload the original settings, click Restore
To remove the items from the Fixed Navigational Items and Conditional Navigation Items, click Clear
To load the navigational settings, click Apply
Note:
Configuration frames are part of the design process and are only available in templates and ESMs; therefore, they are not available in runtime releases.
