The following section explains how to restrict a characteristic to a hierarchy node (either a fixed or variable restriction).
You have a characteristic in the filter, for which there are one or more hierarchies. You can restrict this characteristic to a hierarchy node. The Edit Filter dialog box appears.
The following table provides an overview of the various possibilities for restricting hierarchies and hierarchy nodes (fixed or variable restriction):
Selection |
Example |
---|---|
Fixed Hierarchy Node - Fixed Hierarchy |
Report on department A (fixed hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for 2015 (fixed hierarchy) |
Variable Hierarchy Node - Fixed Hierarchy |
Report on chosen department (variable hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for 2015 (fixed hierarchy) |
Variable Hierarchy Node - Variable Hierarchy | Report on a chosen department (variable hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for the current calendar year (variable hierarchy). |
