Condition Properties

In the Condition Propertiesdialog box, you can activate or deactivate the condition, change the description, and make settings for the characteristic assignment.

The Condition Propertiesdialog box is divided into tab pages, each of which provides different settings.

Tab Page: General

Here, you can activate or deactivate the condition under Activate Condition.

You can change the description of the condition under Description.

Click Edit to open the condition editor, where you can change the condition.

Tab Page: Characteristic Assignment

You can choose the following setting options:

• All Characteristics in the Drilldown Independently

  This setting allows you to apply a condition in a general way. Depending on which characteristics you use in the drilldown, you obtain different results.

  Caution

  Characteristics that are already used in an active condition for characteristic combinations are not included.

  For more information, seeRanked List Condition: Top 5 Products andRanked List Condition for All Characteristics in Drilldown Independent: Top 3 Products and Top 3 Sales Channels.

  This option is optimized for ranked list conditions, but can also be used for threshold value conditions with relative values.

• Most Detailed Characteristic Along the Rows

  This option is optimized for threshold value conditions. The condition is applied to the most detailed characteristic of the rows.

• Most Detailed Characteristic Along the Columns

  This option is optimized for threshold value conditions. The condition is applied to the most detailed characteristic of the columns.

• Individual Characteristics and Characteristic Combinations

  This setting allows you to evaluate the condition for characteristics or characteristic combinations defined for specific drilldowns only. You can select any characteristic (of the characteristics used in the query in Rows, Columns, orFree Characteristics) or a characteristic combination.

  • If you only want to evaluate the condition when a certain characteristic is present in the drilldown, select this characteristic.
  • If you want to evaluate the condition for characteristic combinations, select multiple characteristics. For more information, seeRanked List Condition for Characteristic Combination: Top 10 Combinations of Product and Sales Channel.

Tab Page: Content

You can make the condition switchable in the context of the Switch framework. To do so, enter a name in the Switch field. The condition is thus assigned a switch in the Switch framework. For more information, seeSwitchable Query Components in the Framework.

Select the required condition in the Conditions screen area. The properties dialog box for the condition is displayed in the Properties screen area. You can also select multiple conditions and set the properties simultaneously. If you enter an invalid value, a warning is displayed beside the property and a corresponding text that helps you to resolve the error is displayed in the Messages screen area. To save your settings, choose Query → Save.
