In the right screen area of the semantics tab in the Open ODS View maintenance screen, you can view and modify the properties of the Open ODS view fields. You can change key figure properties for fields of an Open ODS view by changing the selections/entries in the properties maintenance screen (overwrite local settings). Alternatively, you can specify an association for the field and this association can pass on various properties to the Open ODS view field.
To change a field property locally, proceed as follows:
Using associations on fields of type "key figure", you can link an Open ODS view with InfoObjects. This allows you, for example, to reuse formulas and variables (defined on the associated InfoObject) in queries on the Open ODS view and inherit properties from the associated object.
Creating the association for an Open ODS view field transfers the Aggregation property and the reporting properties (Decimal Places and Display) from the associated InfoObject to the Open ODS view field. The InfoObject name of the Open ODS view field is also inherited by the InfoObject.
Properties specified using the association can be modified again on the property; choose (default or inherited value). You can reset local changes with the (local value) button.
Note that the field properties must be consistent with the associated InfoObject. If you overwrite properties inherited from the InfoObject, the changed entries must match the InfoObject properties.
