You can make subscription controls dependent on other controls sharing a data source. This enables you to create a chain of dependent subscription controls, where dimension member selections in a subscription control prompt the display of the selection’s children in dependent controls. Multiple dependent controls can be created to reflect the depth of the dimension hierarchy.
Because check box subscription controls enable multiple member selection, they cannot be used by dependent subscription controls. You are warned when you attempt to delete a subscription control with dependent controls, as dependent controls do not function without the primary subscription control.
To create a dependent subscription control for a subscription control:
Drag a subscription control object from the Custom Document component toolbar to a document panel.
Click to select a subscription control and click OK.
The dependent subscription control is displayed on the custom document. It is populated with the children of the primary subscription control when selections are made.
