Configuring the Related Actions Menu

In the Pivot Grid wizard - Specify Data Model Values page, you can select the Display option to enable the column to appear in the detailed-data view of the grid and the chart. You can also select this column as a related action parameter for a Pivot Grid model in the detailed-data view.

In Pivot Grid models, you can configure the related action at the cell level in the grid. Each cell in the Pivot Grid model represents an aggregate fact value. For each fact, the combination of different dimensions is defined for each related action service. Clicking the fact value number populates a related action menu, which is a combination of all the related actions that were configured for that fact.

Note: If related actions are not configured for the Pivot Grid model, then clicking the fact value number opens the Detailed View page.

To drill down on the Pivot Grid charts, you must enter an authentication domain either when you set up the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture or in the Web Profile page. See “Configuring General Portal Properties” in Configuring Web Profiles and “Setting Up the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture” in the Installation Guide.

You can use the Define Related Content Service page (Portal, Related Content Service, Define Related Content Service) to set the related service definition and to enable the Bulk Mode option for the Pivot Grid models.

Note: Aggregate bulk related actions are not applicable; therefore, the aggregate option is disabled for the bulk related action configuration for Pivot Grid models.
