I'm new to Design studio 1.1, don't know if I have to do all this or just wait for next release or service pack .
im trying to implement navigation memory so that with each forward step the previous drill down steps are remembered & user can back track the drill down. im using a filter panel & have a variable list for each dimension in a step
so if there are 5 dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4,D5 & I want to remember up to 5 steps then I created string variables list of 5X5= V11...V15 , V21... V25 , V51..V55 & another variable called STEP
so every time user selects a bunch of filters in a step all the filters get saved in the variables corresponding to the step
eg STEP =1 & Dim1 & Dim2 are assigned values in FILTER Panel , then on APPLY variables V11 & V12 get populated & STEP gets incremented
my problem is programming the "back track" widgets onselect event.( ive created listbox pop ups emulating context menus in Bex query)
if (STEP>0){
if (STEP == 1){
if (Convert.stringLength(""+V11)!= 0){/// im adding "" as I was getting script errors
DS_1.setFilterExt("DIM1", V11);
what else do I need to do here
}
if (Convert.stringLength(""+V12)!= 0) {
DS_1.setFilterExt("DIM2", V12);
what else do I need to do here ?.
} ..........................................etc .
}
if (STEP == 2){
if (Convert.stringLength(""+V21)!= 0) {
DS_1.setFilterExt("DIM1", V21);
what else do I need to do here?
}
if (Convert.stringLength(""+V22)!= 0) {
DS_1.setFilterExt("DIM2", V22);
what else do I need to do here}
......etc }
} ..................... etc you get the point
STEP= STEP-1; .
also need HELP to disable LISTBOX element if STEP =0
also need to note that between step n1 & n2 the same DIM can have modified filters eg : in STEP1 DIM1 has filter values V11= A;B; in STEP2 DIM1 has filter values V21=C; along with other dimensions
also the filter panel needs to remember the earlier step values assigned. currently out of the box that functionality is shaky. the values don't appear immediately when the filter panel opens
any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
