The Global Options tab allows you to identify which parameters to set up as a Global view within the Global Parameter definition table. By setting global parameters, a Global view bar displays on the Home page that you can use those assigned parameters across multiple Cube View reports.
A global parameter displays on multiple Cube View reports if that parameter is used on that report. You can also set the List Label and the Default Value of the global parameter.
This table shows the change in display for each List Label population:
| List Label | Global Parameter Definition Table Display |
|---|---|
| Blank | Name of the parameter on the home page reflects the parameter name. |
| Populated | List Label contents overrides name of the parameter |
This table shows the change in display for each Default Value population:
| Default Value | Home Page Display |
|---|---|
| Blank | No Selection |
| Populated | Default Value contents |
The parameter uses the most recent selection for current and future sessions. After you save, the Parameter Name, List Label, and Default Value columns become read-only. You can edit Global View Order at any time.
Global View Order
Apply the sort order in the Global Parameter Definition table in the Global View Order column. The global view order assigned retains its setting on the Home page.
If the Global View Order column is blank, the default sort order for the dimensions is the order of the POV:
-
Cube
-
Entity
-
Parent
-
Consolidation
-
Scenario, and more
When an administrator adds a new parameter in the initial setup or includes additional parameters to an existing list on the Global Definition Table and clicks Save, a validation displays Changes made to the Global Definition table will be captured during a discover or rediscover process.
This validation alerts the administrator that any changes made to the Global Definition Table will be available on the Home page of the individual Cube View reports after the Discover process completes. If you ran a Discover process for a Cube View, clicking it again reflects any changes made to parameters in the Cube View itself or in the Global Parameter Table. See Discover Parameters from Cube View Reports.
