Features

Initial list

After you have called the analysis, and restricted it if necessary by specifying selection criteria, an Initial list of this analysis is displayed.

The first column lists all values for a Characteristic that correspond to the chosen selection criteria. This characteristic is set specifically for each analysis.

The following columns contain the key figure values for the selected characteristics. The corresponding units are displayed for all key figures.

You can use the Settings menu to set the display of the characteristics and key figures for specific users.

Drilldown function - Drilldown list

You can use the drilldown function to vary the amount of information on display. You can determine the detailed data that you want to display by choosing certain criteria.

The WIS uses the so-called Characteristic drilldown: Double-click on a characteristic value to show it in more detail with regards to another characteristic of the same analysis. The order in which the characteristics are drilled down follows a default analysis path called the Standard drilldown.

In contrast to the Initial list, the Drilldown list displays the detailed characteristic with characteristic value in the upper half of the screen.

To display the characteristics and the order of the characteristics of the standard drilldown, choose Extras ® Display standard drilldown. A dialog box appears showing the structural graphic of the standard drilldown.

If you want to drill down the characteristics in another order, position the cursor on the characteristic value for which you want the detailed information and choose View ® Drilldown by. A dialog box appears on which you can choose the characteristic by which you want to drill down.

To return to the Initial list from a Drilldown list, choose Goto ® Initial list.

Switching the drilldown

You can use the function Switch drilldown to change the view on the data displayed in the list.

You can use this function in the Initial list to switch to an Initial list based on a different characteristic, but which is structured according to the same selection criteria.

Key figures

A sequence of key figures is displayed as standard for each characteristic value. To choose other key figures to be displayed in the list, choose Edit ® Choose key figures.

A dialog box appears with a list of all available key figures. You can now choose the key figures to be included in the list display. You can delete key figures, change their sequence and choose new key figures from the basic information structure for the list display.

For further information, refer to Key Figures Used.
