Collapse and expand Region dimension consolidations and you will notice that the order in which children elements are displayed changed.

Values stored in settings service can be easily retrieved and utilized in reports. For instance, you can use them to set dynamic titles and descriptions, pass them into MDX and more.

The values in the Settings Service are stored in a 3-part key, delimited by periods. This key includes information such as the instance name, dimension name, and hierarchy name, making it easy to access and work with these values.

Syntax example: UX_Demo.Product.Product

1. UX Placeholders

» Dynamic Titles

In this exercise, you'll be using the UX placeholder to set a dynamic title that changes based on the global filter value.

To do this, you need to reference that value in the report's title using the UX placeholder. This way, every time the user changes the filter, the report title will update accordingly

1. Follow the steps

• Navigate to Sales Planning view (Exercises / Views)

• Enable the Edit Mode

• Click on the page title

• Change it to: Sales Planning $<<UX_Demo.Region.Region>>

• Change the Region global filter to World

• Make sure that the title updated

» Attribute values

It is also possible to retrieve specific attribute value from Settings Service and use in e.g view title. You must use the following syntax: $<<Instance_Name.Dimensions_Name.Hierarchy_Name::attribute>>

In this exercise you will retrieve values for Region dimension Country Code attribute.

For the attribute to show correctly in the frontend option called All Attributes needs to be enabled.

This is how we enable it:

• Click on the Settings icon

• Select Filterbar option

• Set All Attributes to Yes

• Collapse the settings panel

• Save the changes

• Reload the page

• Enable the edit mode

1. Then follow the steps

• Click on the view title

• Change it to: Sales Planning $<<UX_Demo.Region.Region::CountryCode>>

• Change the Region global filter to Spain

• Make sure that the title says: Sales Planning ES

2. Dynamic MDX

UX placeholders can be part of MDX expressions that are used when configuring dimensions.

In this example you will configure Version dimension (Exercises / Views / Sales Planning view) to dynamically change the column content depending on the selected global filter.

1. Follow the steps

• Click on the cube icon to open up the cube settings popup

• Change the sub-view to Version

• Select Version column dimension

• Open the advanced options panel and select Dimension Settings

• Change the List Type to MDX

• In the MDX text box input: {[Version].[Version].[$<<UX_Demo.Version.Version>>]}

• Close the Cube Settings popup

• Change the Version global filter to Budget

• Make sure that the data as well as column header updated

• Save the changes

3. Dynamic Formatting

Another way to utilize the UX placeholders is to make the formatting of our table more dynamic. Instead of using the column name for formatting, we can use the UX placeholder, which will apply the formatting based on the value of the global filter.

1. Follow the steps

• Click on the cube icon to open up the cube settings popup

• Click + icon visible the Global Filters section

• In the popup:

  • From the dropdown list select Period dimension

  • Click Add Dimension button

• Change the Attribute (for newly added Period dimension) to Short Description

• Close the cube settings popup

1. Follow the steps

• Open the advanced option panel

• Expand Table Config section by clicking on the + icon

• Replace the Feb column name with $<<UX_Demo.Period.Period::Short Description>>

• Collapse advanced options panel

• Save the changes

Change the Period global filter and notice that formatting is based on currently selected value (only Year column will have different formatting applied)

4. UX placeholders used in hierarchy context

This functionality allows users to dynamically define a dimension hierarchy using a placeholder. After clicking Select button the Hierarchy dropdown list will be changed to text box to enable placeholder input.

1. Create new view

• Select Add public... option inside Exercises - Views folder

• Do the following configuration inside the popup:

  • Add view title: Dynamic hierarchy

  • Change the Cube Source by selecting Retail from the dropdown list

  • Click Create button

• Publish the view

1. Set up the view

• Click on the cube icon to open cube settings popup

• Select Default view

• Drag and drop:

  • Period to Row Dimensions

  • Product to Column Dimensions

1. Set up Product dimension to dynamically change based on the hierarchy selected

• Click Add Dimension (+ icon) button in Global Filters section

• Choose Product from the list

• Click Add Dimension button

• Click Add Dimension (+ icon) button again

• Set Control Objects option to Yes

• Choose }Hierarchies_Product from the list

• Click Add Dimension button

• Select }Hierarchies_Product dimension

  • Open Subset Editor

  • Click All E button

  • Select Product:Color and Product:Size from the list of available elements

  • Click Apply button

• Select Product global filter dimension

  • Open the advanced options panel Dimension Settings

  • Click Select button visible above Hierarchy dropdown list

  • In the editable text box input UX Placeholder: $<<UX_Demo.}Hierarchies_Product.}Hierarchies_Product::Hierarchy>>

  • Change the List Type to MDX

• Select Product dimension added in columns

  • Add the same placeholder in the Hierarchy text box

  • Change the List Type to MDX

• Close the cube settings popup

• Change }Hierarchies_Product filter to Product:Size and back to Product:Color

Notice how Product dimension hierarchy dynamically updated in global filter as well as in columns.

• Save the changes

5. Nested UX placeholders

Use the view configured in the previous exercise to practice adding nested UX placeholders.

In this example the selection will be even more dynamic, both filters are configurated the same way as in previous case, but the MDX changes were made for the Product dimension added in columns.

1. Update the configuration and follow the steps

• Click on the cube icon to open cube settings

• Select Product dimension added in columns

• Open advanced options panel and select Dimension Settings

• Click Select button visible above Hierarchy dropdown list

• In the editable text box input UX Placeholder: $<<UX_Demo.}Hierarchies_Product.}Hierarchies_Product::Hierarchy>>

• Change the MDX query to:

• Close the cube settings popup

• Select element from Product global filter and notice how the column element dynamically updated

• Change }Hierarchies_Product filter to Product:Size and select different element from Product global filter

• Save the changes

Above example shows that by nesting two UX placeholder statements within each other users can not only define dynamic element selection based on filters, but also dimension hierarchy.

1. Cell Types

Apliqo supports few predefined cell types that can help you create the reports you need, we will take a look at Date picker & Checkbox. Both of them are defined by CellType attribute.

Navigate to UX Samples - Cell Types - Date Picket options

Let's see what will happen when we change the Cell Type:

• Open Set Cell Type popup

• Click on the Checkbox CellType and notice that the box is checked

• Clear the Checkbox CellType by clicking backspace button

• Cell type changed and the checkbox is no longer visible

• Input checkbox value into the cell to change the type again

• Click on the date CellType and notice that the calendar opens

• Clear the "date" value

• The calendar is no longer available

• Input date value into the cell to change the type again

2. Table format based on attribute

Navigate to UX Samples - Attributes -Format - driven by Attribute

In Simple Condition widget you can edit the value of the Region UX_Class attribute that is is used to drive the format in the Style grid.

Let's try it out:

• change the value for USA cell to bg-orange-600

• you will notice that the formatting in style widget changed

Now let's take a look at the advanced options to see how this was achieved:

• Open advanced options panel

• Click on the Style widget header

• Click on the CODE tab

• In the table section you will notice that instead of class the attribute was used to drive the formatting

• Replace UX_Class with:

$<<UX_Demo.}ElementAttributes_Region.}ElementAttributes_Region>>

• Collapse advanced options panel

• change the }ElementAttributes_Region global filter to Class2

You will notice that the cell color for the USA and Brazil elements was updated.

3. Read only based on attribute

Read-only access can be applied to the whole table, specific rows, columns or be based on attribute value. In this exercise you will use UX Placeholder to see how the read access can change based on the selected filter.

For the purpose of this exercise navigate to UX Samples - Attributes - ReadOnly and Popup display based on dimension attribute.

Take a look at the Read only option based on Region dimension attribute widget, right now the leaf level elements are editable, which is indicated by the grey formatting.

• Change the Region global filter to Brazil

• Formatting of the cells will be changed to read only

Follow the steps below to practice the configuration:

• Open the subset editor for Region global filter

• From the attributes list select ReadOnly (this atribute is used to dynamically drive read access of the table. It's configured with true/false values)

• Click on the pencil icon to edit the attributes

• Set the value of ReadOnly attribute for USA element to true

• Apply the changes

• Change the Region global filter to USA and you will notice that cells are no longer editable

In this part you will check the advanced options that allowed for readOnly access to change dynamically:

• Open the advanced options panel and select CODE tab

• Click on the Read only option based on Region dimension attribute widget header

• Under the table section you will see "readOnly" option

• In this example true/false value was replaced with the placeholder referencing in this case Region global filter dimension and ReadOnly attribute:

For this to work correctly the All Attributes option under Filterbar section needs to be turned on.

4. Show table popup based on attribute

By default, popup icon will appear for all elements in the table. However, if you want to limit the display of the icon to only certain elements based on their attribute values, you can do so by assigning a value of 1 to those elements. This exercise will show you how to set up and use this feature effectively.

For the purpose of this exercise navigate to UX Samples - Attributes - ReadOnly and Popup display based on dimension attribute.

Take a look at the Popup display based on Region dimension attribute widget, popup icon is limited to just few rows.

Follow the steps below to practice the configuration:

• Open the subset editor for Region global filter

• From the attributes list select ShowTablePopUp (you can use whatever name you prefer for your attribute)

• Click on the pencil icon to edit the attributes

• Change the value for America, Europe & Asia to 1

• Apply the changes

And all done, now the popup icon will be displayed for the selected elements (all with the value 1) from the dimension.

Second part of the configuration was done using table advanced options:

• Open the advanced options panel

• Click on the Popup display based on Region dimension attribute widget header

• Select Table Config section

• Popup Attribute Enabled option needs to be set to Yes

• Change it to No and notice that now the popup icon will be displayed for all Region elements in the table

• Change it back to Yes

Also correct Display Popup Attribute must be selected from the list to ensure correct configuration.

1. Zero Suppression

In case you do not want your table to display rows/ columns containing only null data, you can achieve this by changing the 'Zero Supression' settings.

Navigate to Views - Sales Planning

Before following below steps notice that rows displaying only 0s were hidden. Now you will check what happens if you change this option:

• Click view Cube Settings icon

• Open Zero Suppression drop-down list and un-check Rows and Columns option

• Open advanced options panel and select SubView Settings

• Open Zero Suppression Button drop-down list and chose Rows and Columns

• Close the Cube Settings popup

If you look at the table now you will rows contain 0 values. Select rows from the new Zero Suppression button and they will disappear again.

2. Subset Selection

To provide a more dynamic analysis of the data, another very useful feature is available in the cube settings - Subset Selection. Enabling it allows you to change the subsets of the dimension from the list available at the view level. Additionally, we decide which subsets are included in the selection.

Do the following configuration:

• Open view Cube Settings

• Click on the Product dimension

• Open the advanced options panel and select Dimension Settings

• Enable Subset Selection

• Choose Accessories, Bikes and Clothing in Multi Subset Selection list

Close the pop-up and check the subset selection availability and save the changes.

3. Context menu options

» User defined consolidations: Rollup

Two new options, Rollup and Custom Rollup, have been added to the context menu for grid widgets and views.

Rollup: creates a new element that summarizes the selected members by displaying their sum.

Users also have the ability to create a Custom Rollup which requires an additional dialog in order to select the mathematical function to apply to the rollup.

You can specify both Rollup Name and Rollup Function:

• AGGREGATE/SUM: display the total for the selected members

• AVG: display the average value of the selected members

• COUNT: display the number of the selected members

• MIN: display the minimum value of the selected members

• MAX: display the maximum value of the selected members

• STDDEV: displays sample standard deviation of the selected members Follow the steps below to practice it:

• Select few elements from Product dimension (e.g. leaf level elements from Mountain Bikes) • Right click on one of the elements to open up a context menu • Select Rollup option

New consolidated element Product Sum will appear in the table.

You can edit the Rollup at any time:

• right click on the Product Sum element

• select Edit Rollup option from the context menu

• in the popup do the following configuration

Now the Product AVG element is showing the average value for the selected elements.

What is more you can also Save the changes made or Reset them to get back to the original view configuration:

• Select Spanish Description

• The Product dimension will now display updated attribute

• Select Reset from the context menu to return to the original configuration

» Inserting new column and row

In this exercise, we'll focus on enhancing reports by inserting new columns or rows. Adding custom calculations to your reports can provide valuable insights and context to your data, making it more informative and visually appealing.

Adding column

First we will add a column:

• Right click on the Dec column

• Choose Insert column right form the list

Context menu will automatically close and the new column will appear in the table.

Column title change

All the columns added to the table will appear with the default name: Inserted + number (depending on the amount of already added columns).

It can be changed using context menu:

• Right click on the inserted column header

• Select Edit Column Header from the list

• Enter the new title in the popup: New Column

• Click Save

• Make sure that the column header updated

• Save the changes

» Formulas

Adding new columns in views or grid widgets is often done to perform further calculations. The application allows us to use arithmetic operations or standard Excel formulas.

We will use our new column to calculate the sum of the values for the first half of the year, so months of Jan through Jun.

Follow the steps below:

• Click Toggle Excel Headers button for easier formulas input

• Click on the firs row cell in New Column

• Input the formula e.g. =SUM(D1:J1) and click Enter

Formula entered on the first row cell is automatically applied to all elements in rows. Now only the first row cell is editable.

You can change it:

• right clicking on the first cell in New Column

• select Remove Auto Column Fill from the context menu

• select Auto Column Fill from the context menu to populate rest of the cells again •

• Save the changes

DBRW function

DBRW function which uses the same syntax as in Perspectives or PAfE is also supported.

In this exercise we will use this function:

=DBRW("UX_Demo", "Retail", "Actual", "2012", "$<<UX_Demo.Period.Period>>", "Local", "USA",

A1, "Sales Amount")

Period dimension was replaced with: '$<<UX_Demo.Period.Period>>' to allow the value to dynamically change together with the Global filter.

Product dimension was replaced with A1, which refers to the row dimension Follow the steps below:

• Double click on the first row cell in New Column

• Input the DBRW function and click Enter

• Change the Period global filter to May

• Make sure that the data updated

• Save the changes

As you can see, the data from the New Column displays the same data as the May column.

COLHEAD - referencing column headers in custom formulas

To fully benefit from the formulas new custom function =COLHEAD(1,0) was added to the app that allows to reference column header name.

• First parameter refers to column number (starting from 0 for column A)

• Second parameter specifies the column header index and is needed only if nested column headers are used, in which case the user must specify the header row. The default value if omitted is 0.

In this exercise you will use a DBRW function, which will include =COLHEAD formula.

First you will update New Column name and connect it with Period global filter with the use of settings service placeholder:

• Right click on the New Column header

• Select Edit Column Header option from the context menu

• In the textbox input $<<UX_Demo.Period.Period>>

• Click Save button

The column name will update to match the current Period global filter selection.

In this part of the exercise you will add DBRW formula to the table.

• double click on the first cell in the Year column (so it will become editable)

• input the following formula in the cell =DBRW("UX_Demo","Retail","Actual","2012", COLHEAD(15), "Local","USA",A1, "Sales Amount")

Now, thanks to the fact that you used a settings service placeholder in the column name and a new COLHEAD formula in the DBRW function, you can see how the data will dynamically update when we change the Period global filter.

Change the Period global filer by selecting Jan from the dropdown list. The column name header as well as the column data will update.

4. Cross Drill

As an example for the advanced TI integration module, we will use the "}bedrock.cube.data.export" TI process.

Create a new Dashboard, called TI integration and publish it. Change the widget type from Grid to TI Process.

1. Basic TI setup

Click on the settings icon and then select Process Config option:

• Set Embed in Page to Yes

• Select UX_Samples from the Instance drop-down list

• Select }bedrock.cube.data.export from the Process Name drop-down list

This configuration will already show all the parameters of the process in the webform.

2. Advanced TI settings

To make the results even friendlier to the users we can add additional code for the parameters.

Inside the "parameters" tag we can add additional config options, in order to set default values and hide specific parameters. Additionally, we can assign check boxes and subsets.

Here is the configuration we can use to make the process easier to us.

Below you can also find, in the attached file, the complete TI setup.

» TI Process configuration using new Advanced Options GUI

Parameters configuration is available in the dedicated tab: Process Parameters.

Hide specific parameters

Add labels

Disable parameters

Add default value

Configure subnm selection

Change the parameter type to checkbox

Final result should look like this:

3. Track process status in notification drawer

With the help of the processes drawer in the notifications panel, users can monitor running processes and their status changes.

To benefit from this functionality, additional advanced option Enable Drawer was added for three TI Process Status Notifications: Running, Success, Failed.

Navigate to Latest Releases - UX Version 2022.06 - Commentaries and Notification Follow the steps below to see how to enable it:

• Enable the edit mode

• Click on the settings icon and then on the Add Product widget header

• Click on the + icon visible next to the Process config option

• Click on the + icon visible next to the Status Notifications option

• Select Success

• Notice that the Drawer Enabled option is set to Yes -> this is the option enabling users to keep track of process status changes

Now we will see how the status changes will be shown in the notifications drawer:

• In the Add Product widget input "My New Product" in the Product textbox

• Click Run button

• If the process was successful, new notification will appear next to the bell icon

• Expand the Process section

• Click on the 3 dots icon

• Select Process Info option to review the paraments

4. Create TI Process button from Action menu

The Add menu (located in the toolbar) now contains a new option: TI button

Choosing this option will open up a create dialog for the TI process button. User can specify: title, instance, process and location of the process button (by default it will be located in toolbar, but by enabling Widget PopUp it can be placed in a selected widgets' header instead) Follow the steps below to try it out:

• Click on the + icon visible in the page toolbar • Select TI Button from the list

• In the popup:

  • Input title e.g. My New Process

  • Pick one Process form the dropdown list

  • Click Create

New Process button will appear in the toolbar. Further configuration can be done with the advanced options GUI as explained in the previous exercises. Save the changes.

5. Run on click

New advanced option Run On-Click has been added to the Process Configuration to enable users to run the process with predefined parameter values without the need to open the popup dialog. After setting this option to true, the process will start with the button click and run in the background. For this process configuration the Drawer Enabled option will be by default turned on so that the user can track the process status in the Notifications window.

Follow the steps below to see how to enable this option:

• Click on the Wait toolbar button

• Open the advanced options menu

• Click on the popup header

• Select Process Config

• Set Run On-Click to Yes

Advanced MDX techniques can be used everywhere in the Apliqo application.

In the following example, we are going to check a few of the most common MDX queries that can be used to improve the functionality and the user experience.

1. Dynamic filtering

One way to use dynamic filters with the help of MDX is to query a member base on the value of an attribute of another member.

For the purpose of this exercise create a new view, based on General Ledger cube.

• Open cube settings popup

• Select Default view

In this exercise, we will work on making the Currency selection dynamic based on the selected Region. To accomplish this, we will make use of the existing Currency attribute of the Region dimension.

• Move Version dimension to columns section

• Move Region column dimension to filters section

• Open Subset editor for Region global filter dimension

• Change the subset to All Countries

• Change Attribute to Code and Description

• Click Apply

• select Currency dimension

• open advanced options panel

• select Dimension Settings

• in the MDX textbox input following code:

• close the cube settings popup

Observe that whenever you change the country, the currency will update automatically based on the attribute.

» Alternative version of the MDX

• Define MDX for Currency dimension to display the currency set in attribute of selected Region element:[Currency].[Currency].["+[}ElementAttributes_Region]

• Set Region element to change dynamically: [Region].[Region].[$<<UX_Demo.Region.Region>>]

• Define the Region attribute : [}ElementAttributes_Region].[Currency])+"]

2. Filtering displayed elements

The next example will allow us to see only filtered Region elements on the columns based on their value in the selected cube.

For the purpose of this exercise navigate to UX Samples - Filters - Filtering displayed elements in columns by value using MDX

• change the Version & Account global filter and observe how the displayed elements change based on their value

Now we will take a look at the configuration:

• Open the cube settings popup

• Select Region column dimension

• Open the advanced options panel

• Select Dimension Settings

• In the MDX text box you will see following MDX query:

» Additional information about used MDX

• Filter all the elements from the Region dimension:

Filter( { TM1SubsetAll ( [Region] ) }

• Filter all elements based on their value in General Ledger_C3UX cube:

[General Ledger_C3UX].([Version].[$<<UX_Demo.Version.Version>>],[T Year-Month].[2016],[Currency].[Local],[Region].CurrentMember, [Department].[Corporate],[Account].[$<<UX_Demo.Account.Account>>],[General Ledger Measure].[Amount])

• Filter values bigger that 1,000,000:

> 1000000 )

In the next part we will update the configuration:

• Replace [T Year-Month].[2012] with [T Year-Month].[$<<UX_Demo.T Year-Month.T Year-Month>>] to enable dynamic selection

• Close cube settings popup

• Change YEAR MONTH global filter to 2014

• Notice that different elements will be now displayed in the table

With Full MDX functionality, users can create reports faster, more easily include custom columns and calculations, and still benefit from the placeholder functionality.

Full MDX statements can be added using cube settings popup. After turning on Full MDX option, new textbox will be provided to input query. Dimensions can be left undefined, configured to set the dimensions Attributes or used to incorporate dynamic filter selection with the help of UX placeholders.

For the purpose of this exercise add new widget based on General Ledger cube, you can use any dashboard available.

Then follow the steps:

• Open the cube settings of newly created widget

• Move Period and Version dimensions to global filters

• Open the advanced options panel by clicking on the wrench icon

• Select Widget Settings

• Turn on the Full MDX option

• Collapse the advanced options panel

• Click Edit MDX button

• In the textbox input the query provided below:

• Close the cube settings popup

• table will be generated based on the added MDX query

Change Period and Version global filter to test the data update.

At this point selected elements from both dimensions are displayed without attributes, this can be easily changed.

• Open the cube settings again

• move Region dimension to Widget Column

• move Account dimension to Widget Rows

• Open the advanced options panel

• select Account dimension » open Dimensions Settings and change the Attribute by selecting Code and Description from the dropdown list

• select Region dimension » change Attribute by selecting Code and Description from the dropdown list

Close the cube settings popup and you will notice that selected attributes are visible in the table.

» Add custom column to Full MDX view

As Full MDX functionality allows to easily include custom columns and calculations, in this exercise you will practice that.

• Open the cube settings popup

• change the MDX query in the Full MDX textbox to the one provided below:

• Close the cube settings

• table will now display additional All Countries SUM column

• Save the changes
