Display of Documents for InfoProvider Data 

You are using the List of Documents Web item in a Web application or have called the document display for InfoProvider data from the Documents context menu from the BEx Analyzer or a Web application and discover that the list of documents displayed is not correct:

●     In the display, stored documents that are relevant to the current navigational state are missing.

●     Documents that are not relevant to the current navigational state are also displayed.

Or you have switched on the Display Document Links query property and the display of the document icons is not correct.

Background Information: Document-Relevant Characteristics

You assign documents for InfoProvider data to several characteristic values, several key figures, and (optional) a query or an InfoProvider. This means that the documents can have the fixed properties InfoProvider, Query, and Key Figure. Additionally, the documents have some characteristics as properties. These are the characteristics that you set in characteristic maintenance as Characteristic is Document Property. You can use only these characteristics to assign a document to the InfoProvider data. These characteristics are called document-relevant characteristics. For example, you can assign a document to InfoProvider ABC, key figures Sales Revenue and Profit, as well as materials Television and Radio and year 2002.

It is not possible to use navigation attributes to assign documents. This is not possible even when the attribute itself is a document-relevant characteristic. Therefore, model all the characteristics that you want to use for assigning documents as direct characteristics in the InfoProviders and not as navigation attributes.

You can display the document properties in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the documents for InfoProvider data area. Select the document by entering suitable selection conditions. You can then display the properties of the document by choosing Properties. You assign documents to the InfoProvider data on the Logical Document Properties tab page.
