Definition
A Web item that obtains data from a query view to create a generic navigation block for a Web application. This block contains keys that you can use to transfer characteristics, for example, into rows or columns.
Use
The Web item (Generic Navigation Block) displays the navigational state of a query view in the Web application in the form of a table. All characteristics and structures in the query view are listed in the table and their filter values are displayed. You can change the navigational status of the query view. You can transfer characteristics and structures to an axis (rows or columns) or from an axis. You can filter according to single values and remove the filter again.
Structure
As well as its General Attributes, the Generic Navigation Block Web item has the following attributes:
Attributes
Description
Read mode
(BOOKED_VALUES)
(BOOKED_VALUES_N)
“Master data table”
“Dimension table”
“Posted values”
This attribute specifies which values in the master data table are copied to the Checkboxes Web item as filter values:
· M: All values from the master data table.
In some circumstances values that do not appear in the data provider under the current filter conditions and that produce the result No suitable data found when filtered, might also be displayed. However, this process is fastest under certain conditions.
· 😧 Values that are basically posted, whereby the current drilldown status is not fully taken into consideration.
· Q: Only values that are also posted in the data provider under the currently valid filter conditions are displayed. It can take a long time under certain circumstances.
Read mode for filter items
The “master data” read mode may lead to many unposted values being displayed; the “posted values” read mode may be slow.
Grouping axes
(SHOW_AXES_GROUPING)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, free characteristics, characteristics in the rows and the characteristics in the columns will be displayed in groups.
Characteristics of the rows collapsed
(ROWS_CLOSED)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, the characteristics for the rows are displayed collapsed in the grouped display.
Characteristics of the columns collapsed
(COLUMNS_CLOSED)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, the characteristics for the columns are displayed collapsed in the grouped display.
Free characteristics collapsed
(FREE_CHARACTERISTICS_CLOSED)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, the free characteristics will be displayed collapsed in the grouped display.
Display empty filter
(SHOW_EMPTY_SLICER)
'X' = Yes, ' ' = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, the empty filters will be displayed in the grouped display.
Delimitation between the characteristics
(SHOW_MARGIN)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
If you set the indicator for this attribute, the characteristics in the non-grouped display are separated from one another.
Order entries next to one another (HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT)
‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No
As well as arranging the characteristics below one another, you can also display them next to one another. In many cases, this makes better use of the display area and there is a stronger visual link between, for example, the table and the navigation block.
Entries next to one another (HORIZONTAL_NUMBER)
Default value: 3
Describes the maximum number of characteristics that can be displayed next to one another. If the navigation block contains more than the specified number of characteristics, then it is automatically displayed in more than one row, where the number of characteristics per row is optimized regarding the equal distribution of rows and the required number of characteristics.
This attribute is only included when HORITONTAL_ALIGNMENT (Define entries next to one another) is activated.
Maximum filter value length (FILTER_VALUE_LENGTH)
Default value: 80
You specify the number of characters, according to which filter value is indicated, by
