Additional Tabs Available for Specific Processing Types

The tabs Default Values, Replacement Path and Currencies and Units are available in the variable editor - depending on the processing type.

Default Values

This tab is available for variables of processing types User Entry and Text.

In the Default Values screen area, you can enter one or more default values depending on the variable type. These appear when the query is executed.

Note

If the variable is input-enabled, you can overwrite the default value and choose another one when executing the query. If the variable is not input-enabled, the query is filled with the default value. In this case, you can no longer change the value when executing the query.

With characteristic variables you can enter one or more default values, depending on the selected processing type. Choose Browse, Add or Edit to open a dialog box where you can select default values.
Only one default value is required for formula and text variables. Enter the required default value into the input field manually.
With hierarchy variables and hierarchy node variables, choose Change to open a dialog box where you can select a specific hierarchy or a specific hierarchy node as a default value.

Replacement Path

The tab is available for all variable types with processing type Replacement Path.

In the Replacement Rule screen area, the system shows the source which variable replacement is based on (CURRENT MEMBER variable, query, variable or InfoObject). This replacement rule cannot be modified.

You can still change the object that you want to use for the replacement however. Choose Browse. A dialog box appears where you can select a different object.

Depending on the replacement type, you can set additional properties in the Replacement Rule and Details screen areas.

Currencies and Units

This tab is available for variables of Formula variable type.

Formula variables usually represent numbers without dimensions. In the Dimension Settings screen area, you can select a dimension indicator, which means that the formula variable represents a specific dimension. Depending on the dimension, you can then determine a currency or a unit.

The following table provides an overview of the various available dimensions:
