Retrieving Key Figures Using Info Sets
Info sets are another way to search quickly for key figures.
An info set is a way of grouping together several key figures according to a given criterion. Thus, info sets are particularly useful if you repeatedly need to call up the same key figures together. For example, you can create an info set of all the key figures you need to check at the beginning of a week.
You can use info sets to group together key figures in terms of users and functions.
Info sets can be single-level or multi-level.
The members of a single-level info set are items of information or key figures. The members of a multi-level info set are one or more subordinate info sets. Thus, an info set can be made up of many hierarchical levels. For example, a multi-level info set might consist of info sets with key figures that need to be looked at on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This top-level info set is then assigned, via its description, to a particular user.
