Configuring Quick Query Limit Controls

Query Panel contains sample Quick Query Limit controls that can be configured to represent query limit values. The frame is created from the Query Panel frame prototype when the template is converted into an editable source master (ESM).

Configuring Quick Query Limit controls is similar to configuring Quick Filters. See “Configuring Quick Filters” in the Hyperion Interactive Reporting – Object Model and Dashboard Development Services Developer's Guide, Volume 5: Dashboard Studio.

Copy and paste as many instances of a control as required. A control must point to an existing query limit or one that is created before the completion of the configuration task. All sample control names begin with User_Limit, which is replaced with the name of the query limit to be associated with the current control. Similarly, the names of buttons and text boxes that may supplement a control are replaced.

Spaces in query limit names must be replaced with underscores (_). As appended queries and queries that share a data model cannot use a limit twice, limits with numeric suffixes are treated as one limit.

A query limit is configured only once in Query Panel. For example, if a list box is configured to show quarter values, a check box cannot be configured to also represent quarter values. The second query limit occurrence is ignored.

*  To configure Quick Query Limit controls:

  1. In Interactive Reporting Studio, open a dashboard that contains the Quick Query Limits component.

  2. Press Ctrl+D to enter Design mode.

    See Configuring Other Controls.

  4. Click the control group background, and change the label to display the configured query limit name.

  5. Press Ctrl+D to exit Design mode.

  6. Click POV Refresh button to update the values.

    Values that were specified when creating the query limit are displayed in Currently Selected Query Limits.
