Tab Page: DefinitionLocate this document in the navigation structure

On the Definition tab, you define on which structure element, at what moment in time and in which manner the exception should be applied.

Is defined on

You specify which key figures the exception is evaluated for. The exception can affect all structure elements (All Elements) of a structure or a given structure element (Given Element).

Note

The exceptions in the query that is run can only take effect if the key figure specified here is contained in the drilldown.

If say you define an exception on a key figure K1 (Billed Quantity for example), that affects key figure K2 (Net Sales for example), it is not enough if just K2 is in the drilldown. The exception can only take effect if K1 is in the drilldown as well.

Time of Evaluation

You can set whether the evaluation of the exception is to take place before or after a local calculation (see Tab: Calculations).

In the standard setting, the exception is evaluated before a local calculation (Before List Calculation).

Is Displayed in Data Cells

You can define whether the exception affects data cells or characteristic cells. In accordance with your setting, the highlighting for the exception is displayed on the numbers for the selected key figure or the text for the most detailed characteristic value. The standard setting here is Is Displayed in Data Cells.

When you display the exception on data cells, you can choose whether the exception is to be displayed on the evaluated structure element, on a given element, or on all structure elements.

You can use the option Active to specify whether the affected setting should be applied (activated).

Display in Characteristic Cells

When you display the exception on characteristic cells, you can choose whether the exception is to be displayed on rows, on columns, or on both rows and columns.

You can use the option Active to specify whether the affected setting should be applied (activated).
