Navigation Attributes in the Drilldown and Universal Display HierarchyLocate this document in the navigation structure

The following section describes which rules are applied when displaying unposted value if there are navigation attributes in the drilldown, and the general analysis function Display as Hierarchy (known as Universal Display Hierarchy) is used.

The following example serves to describe the system behaviour: The navigation attribute comes before the attribute-bearing characteristic in the drilldown. You want to display unposted values for the attribute-bearing characteristic. For the display, "Universal Display Hierarchy" is used, with drilldown by multiple elements.

Before a navigation attribute node is expanded, the query behaves as though only the navigation attribute - and not the attribute-bearing characteristic - were in the drilldown: Only posted values - and no unposted values - are displayed for the attribute-bearing characteristic.

If the navigation attribute node is expanded up to the attribute-bearing characteristic, the associated values of the attribute-bearing characteristic are displayed for every expanded node in accordance with the master data.

Without "Universal Display Hierarchy", all tuples (navigation attribute, attribute-bearing characteristic) are displayed in accordance with the master data of the attribute-bearing characteristic.

With "Universal Display Hierarchy" no tuples (navigation attribute, attribute-bearing characteristic) are displayed if there is not one or more posted values of the attribute-bearing characteristic for the value of the navigation attribute.
