In the Query Designer, you can restrict characteristics by hierarchy or hierarchy node, on a fixed or variable basis.
You can choose from the following options:
Report on department A (fixed hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for 2005 (fixed hierarchy)
Report on chosen department (variable hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for 2005 (fixed hierarchy)
Report on department A (fixed hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for the current calendar year (variable hierarchy).
Report on a chosen department (variable hierarchy node) for the hierarchy valid for the current calendar year (variable hierarchy).
This function is only available if hierarchies exist for the characteristic that you want to restrict.
For more information about hierarchies, seeHierarchies.
Fixed Hierarchy - Select Fixed Hierarchy Node
Fixed Hierarchy - Select Variable Hierarchy Node
Variable Hierarchy - Select Fixed Hierarchy Node
Variable Hierarchy - Select Variable Hierarchy Node
You have restricted a characteristic according to a node within a hierarchy. Choose OK. This takes you back to the Query Designer. Save your entries and execute the query.
If you have restricted a characteristic to a variable hierarchy or a hierarchy node, before the query is executed a dialog box appears in which you manually enter variable values (provided that the variable is flagged as Ready for Input). Enter the required values and choose OK. The query can now be executed with the values you selected to fill the variable.
