Entering Selections 

Prerequisites

To use dynamic selections, you must enter a selection of your choice in a field - for example, a WBS element or a wild card.

Procedure

...

       1.      Enter relevant data on the initial screen, such as a WBS element and/or change the selection options from single value to not equal for further WBS elements.

       2.      Choose Edit  ® Dynamic selections.

       3.      Select the appropriate fields and choose Copy Selected.

       4.      Enter the data relevant for the dynamic selection, such as a profit center name.

       5.      Save your input.

Result

The function line in the initial screen tells you that dynamic selections are active. The system only selects the data which comply with the dynamic selections - for example, only projects which are assigned to a particular project manager.

The hierarchy presentation for dynamic selection is determined largely by the settings in the database profile. If you have set the user-defined selections indicator in the database profile, this may mean that only part of the hierarchy, not all of it, is selected. For example, if a WBS element on hierarchy level 2 is not selected, any elements subordinate to it are displayed in level 2, not level 3. See Example: Dynamic Selections.
