You can also add, enable, or edit BEx Exceptions via the Context Menu entry “Conditional Formatting” Also note that the available calculations, functions and operators depend on the datasource type. Note that the example above doesn’t make any sense, as nobody would add two dates. The right-click and chose “Add Calculation” and an operation.įor more advanced calculations you can use “Add Dynamic Calculation” and choosing one of the built-in dynamic calculations.
Since Lumira 2.3 SP 2 you can also select two columns and apply a quick calculation: Click in the header of the first column, hold Ctrl and click on the header of the second column. you could click on a column header and exclude a measure: The most important part however is the Context Menu: you can right-on any element in Navigation Panel and Crosstab to see all the analytic operations. Thus you can add and remove dimensions as usual by drag-and-drop. The app contains a Navigation Panel on the left side and a Crosstab on the right. You’ll see a dialog that essentially contains a Lumira Designer app – we also call it “mini app”: Now do the same, but hold the Ctrl key while clicking on “Edit Initial View…” You know how you open the Initial View editor: in the Outline view right click the datasource that you want to configure. Instead you need complex startup script, bookmarks tricks, or you ask your app’s users to configure the datasource on their own again and again.įortunately Lumira Designer 2.3 comes with a secret feature that solves all those problems. There are so many cool features available at runtime – mainly trough Context Menu that can’t be configured initially for an app. However, haven’t you wished you could create calculated measures there? Or add a measure filter, define a BEx exception? Apply some complex filter? The Initial View editor in Lumira Designer is one of the mostly used features.
