that fall under the Literature subcategory, instead of displaying a long list
of every available book. This is shown below:
• Display different elements of attributes, custom groups, or consolidations
in a panel stack using dynamic text fields. A dynamic text field is a text
field populated by the dataset; it is essentially a reference to an object on
a report.
For example, a panel contains the dynamic text fields Region and
Revenue from the Basic Report dataset. The selector allows you to choose
which region to display on the panel. When you select Mid-Atlantic from
the drop-down list of the selector, Mid-Atlantic and its revenue amount
are displayed on the panel stack.
A selector can target multiple objects. The same selector can control both a
grid and dynamic text fields on the same panel. As described in the "filter
another selector" example above, the same selector can target both a Grid/
Graph report and another selector.
Including or excluding data using a selector
An element selector or a metric condition slider selector can include or
exclude the selected data. (An element selector displays different elements of
attributes, custom groups, or consolidations; a metric condition slider
displays a slider to filter metric values or rank.) For example, the attributes
that you choose in the selector can display in the target, or they can be
hidden. If the selector title bar is displayed, you can change between
including or excluding the selections.
