The Multi-Level Combo Box Subscription object creates multiple coordinated drop-down lists representing the dimensional hierarchy. They are also coordinated with other objects using a common data source.
The combo boxes cascade. Selections made in a previous combo box populate subsequent dialog boxes with hierarchical descendents. Use the Custom Setting shortcut menu command to indicate the number of levels to cascade from the initial dimension member selection.
Multi-Level Combo Box Subscription objects feature a special Custom Settings shortcut menu command:
Custom Settings | Description |
|---|---|
Orientation | Arranges the cascading multiple combo boxes horizontally or vertically. Note: The component area must be resized to display correctly. Also consider that asymmetric hierarchies require a component area providing for the greatest number of combo boxes. |
Horizontal | Parallel with the ground alignment |
Vertical | Straight up alignment |
Set Depth | Displays the Enter Maximum Depth dialog box, used to indicate the number of levels from the member the multi-level combo box should cascade (the number of subsequent combo boxes) |
