Data Binding in Web Items

[Former Member]

In 3.5 it was possible to assign mulitple dataproviders to a web item. For example it was possible to assign 2 datprovider to the navigation block. This was useful where a web template had 2 dataproviders for a table and chart. Of course there would need to be common characteristics in both data providers.

Navigation changes made would effect both the table and chart.

In 2004s it does not appear to be possible to assign more than 1 data provider to a web item under data binding.

Does anyone know if this is the case OR is it possible to assign more than 1 dataprovider.

Thanks

I don't think in 3.5x you were allowed to assign multiple Data Providers to a Nav Block...

It is possible: (refer to HTML below) Refer to setting "Affected Data Providers"

Ian,

This feature is still available with 2004s.

In the properties of Web Item, under Data Binding you can find option of list of dataproviders. By default it will show you only 1 dataprovider row, just click on left side icod of assigned dataprovider row, you will get one more row appended just below that row, now assign more dataprovider here.

Unfortunately there is no option to list multiple dataproviders for the navigation pane web item. It is only possible to assign 1 dataprovider. It does not have a section for "Affected Data Providers' like the "Analysis Item" and other items have available.
