The following methods change the selections of a Query object:
The applySelection
method of the Query object
The applySelections
method of the Query object
The applyQueryAccess
method of the QueryContext interface
The UniverseSelection
property of the Query
object also affects selections because it scopes a particular dimension for all future selection work applied to that dimension for that query. For example, assume that a universe selection is applied to the GEOGRAPHY dimension to limit geographies to the first 40 values in GEOGRAPHY. This means that any other geography selections that are used in this query will have these first 40 values as their starting basis, and their only working "universe."
You can change selections through the following user interface elements:
The QueryBuilder, which modifies selections and allows users to retrieve favorite selections.
The Favorite Tool, which modifies the query in an HTML-client application by applying a favorite selection.
The Sort Tool, which modifies the query in an HTML-client application by adding a ConditionSortStep
object to a selection.
