Previewing Data Forms

While you are designing data forms, you can preview the dimensions that are assigned to the POV, columns, rows, and page axes. Previewing displays member attributes, alias, and data associated with data forms, although new data cannot be entered.

Previewing completes regular data form design validation checks, and checks for proper evaluation of any data validation rules included in the data form. Data validation rules must be properly completed before the data form can be saved. In addition, data validation rules are saved as part of the data form. If you do not save changes to a data form, any data validation rule changes made after the data form was last saved are lost.

  To preview a data form’s design:

  1. With a data form open, click Preview.

  2. Resolve any issues reported during the design validation checks, including any issues with data validation rules.

  3. Save the data form to ensure that updates are saved, including any changes to data validation rules.
