Definition

Web item that generates a hierarchical filter selection from the hierarchy of a characteristic or a structure, where the hierarchy nodes are displayed in a tree that can be expanded and collapsed. The hierarchy nodes (including leaves of the hierarchy) can be set as a filter.

Use

Using the hierarchical filter selection, you can filter a data provider by hierarchy nodes.

Structure

The following information lists the parameters for the Hierarchical Filter Web item, arranged according to the various parameter groupings.

Display

Parameter Description

Width in Pixels (WIDTH)

 

 

You use this parameter to specify the width of the Web item.

 

Height in Pixels (HEIGHT)

 

You use this parameter to specify the height of the Web item.

Visibility (VISIBILITY)

 

 

You use this parameter to specify whether the Web item is to be visible in the Web application.

Behavior

Parameter Description

Allow Navigation (INTERACTION_ALLOWED)

 

You use this parameter to specify whether navigation or other interaction is to be possible in the Web application.

Data Binding

Parameter Description

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item gets the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: Names can be a maximum of 30 characters and consist of characters A-Z, 0-9 and _, but cannot start or end with _. Adhering to these conventions simplifies the upgrade to subsequent SAP releases.

Affected Data Provider

(LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

 

 

You use this parameter to create a list of data providers to which all commands are sent.

For each entry in the data provider list, you select a data provider in the Affected Data Provider parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog box - you have to create them beforehand.

Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC)

 

You use this parameter to select the characteristic according to its technical name.

Level of Drilldown (HIERARCHY_EXPAND_TO_LEVEL)

You use this parameter to specify the expansion level of the filter selection. By default, the initial expansion depth specified for the query definition is used.

Restrict Hierarchy to Drilldown Level (HIERARCHY_RESTRICT_TO_LEVEL)

You use this parameter to restrict the filter selection. You can only set filter values up to the drilldown level.
