Adding Data ControlsDo not use the type Caché Script Object.5.10 Using a Control to Filter AnotherDashboard ElementYou can use any of the controls to filter any number of data elements or other controls in the samedashboard.Note that filters do not affect frames, except for frames that are loaded as detail lists (see the chapter“Displaying Listing Fields and Other Source Data” ).To use a control to filter a data element or another control:1. Configure the control as described earlier in this chapter, following the instructions for using thecontrol as a filter.2. Specify the control as the refresh trigger and as a filter. To do so, do both of the following, ineither order:• Right-click the control and then click Set as Refresh Trigger.• Right-click the control and then click Set as Filter.3. Specify the other element as the refresh target and as the filtered object. To do so, do both of thefollowing, in either order:• Right-click the element and then click Set as Refresh Target. When you do so, a gray line isdrawn between the control and the other element.• Right-click the element and then click Apply Filter to this object. When you do so, a blue lineis drawn between the control and the other element.Tip:To delete links to an object, right-click it and then click Delete all links to object.5.11 Using a Control to Set a VariableYou can use any of the controls to set system variables used by data elements in the same dashboard.For example, suppose that the dashboard included a pivot table that ranked the top ten sales regionsby default. You could add a combo box that listed the numbers 5, 10, 15, and 20, and you could usethe user’s selection to control the number of top-ranked sales regions that are shown. That is, the user56 Using the DeepSee Dashboard Designer
could select 20, and then the pivot table would display the top 20 sales regions. This works becausethe combo box uses the user’s selection to update a system variable that is used by the pivot table.You can also use the same mechanism to set your own variables. For example, you could use a combobox to set the variable VVCOUNTRY (or some other name you choose), and you could have a label thatdisplays the value of that variable by using the $$VAR function; see “Function Calls” in the appendix.To use a control to set a variable:1. Configure the control as follows:Using a Control to Set a Variablea. For Store In Variable, either type the variable name or click the browse button (...) and thenselect a system variable.Note:For check boxes, the properties dialog box does not include a browse button forvariables, so type the variable instead.b. Click OK.The dialog box is closed and the variable is displayed in Store In Variable.2. Specify the control as the refresh trigger. To do so, right-click the control and then click Set asRefresh Trigger.3. Specify the data element as the refresh target. To do so, right-click the data element and then clickSet as Refresh Target. When you do so, a gray line is drawn between the control and the dataelement.Tip:To delete links to an object, right-click it and then click Delete all links to object.5.11.1 Example 1: Controlling the Ranking of a Pivot TableIn this example, we create a combo box with which the user selects a number. The same dashboardincludes a pivot table that uses ranking. Depending on which number the user selects, the pivot tableis updated to show a different number of top-ranked elements. To set up a dashboard with these elements(assuming that you have a suitable data model):1. Create a pivot table that uses ranking. See Using the DeepSee Analyzer.For example, this pivot table could display the top ten ship countries.2. Create a new empty dashboard.3. Add the pivot table to the dashboard.4. Add a combo box to the dashboard. For this combo box:• Manually define the list members as 5, 10, 15, and 20.Using the DeepSee Dashboard Designer 57
