Node and Node List Data Type Parameters
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Assigned Application | The application that contains the dimension and node set to be referenced by the node or node list data type property. |
| Assigned Dimension | The dimension within the assigned application that contains the node set to be referenced by the property. |
|
Assigned Node Set |
The node set that contains the nodes that you are referencing for this property Note: For basic subtypes, the node set can be selected from within the assigned dimension. For user subtypes, the node set can be any active node set that uses the User or User Rollup node type class. See Node and Node List Data Type Subtypes. |
| Viewpoints | Displays a list of associated viewpoints for the selected node set.
Note: This list is Read Only, but you can click the viewpoint to open it in the inspector when you are not in Edit mode. |
|
Allowed Node Types |
The node types within the node set that contains the nodes that you are referencing for this property Note: For user subtypes, the node type must have the User class. |
|
Bottom Level Only |
Determines whether to include just bottom level nodes in conjunction with the selection criteria fields listed below. |
|
Selection Criteria Property |
List of all properties that are not node data type properties in all of the allowed node types. Used with Selection Criteria Operator and Selection Criteria Value fields to select specific nodes. Caution: For the Selection Criteria property, because node data type properties store a reference to a node and not a specific location for the node, if you are referencing a property that contains positional information (such as inheritance or derived default values) and the node that you are referencing from is shared, the system uses the first location that it finds the referenced node in, which may not be the node that you were expecting. |
|
Selection Criteria Operator |
Includes |
|
Selection Criteria Value |
Enter a text value to use with Selection Property and Operator fields to select specific nodes. Blank values are allowed. |
After you select an Assigned Node Set and Allowed Node Types, you can filter the node selection down further by using the Bottom Level Only, Selection Criteria Property, Selection Criteria Operator, and Selection Criteria Value fields. For example, you can specify that an application-level override applies only to bottom level nodes where the Intercompany Flag is set to True.
Node and Node List Data Type Subtypes
For node and node list data type properties, you can specify a subtype that provides additional capabilities. The subtype can be changed at the application level only.
- Basic: Used to reference nodes from any node type in the current application only. The Assigned Node Set and Allowed Node Types must be from the current application.
- User: Used to reference nodes with the User or User Rollup node type in any Users application. The Assigned Node Set can be from any Users application, and the Allowed Node Types must be User or User Rollup. See Working with Users Applications.
