Basic Navigation on the Page

To demonstrate the page navigation let’s open the report based on a test database of the retail sales:

In the opened window you can see the following blocks:

• Dimensions
• Measures
• Sets
• Parameters
• Context
• Measures

We can see the product families on rows and quarters of the year on columns. Inside the table the total amount of sales is displayed. The items which are in rows and columns (products, time, etc) are called dimensions. The values inside the table are called measures.

The section “Dimension” contains dimensions, hierarchies and levels:

The hierarchies can be of several types: regular, attribute and parent-child:

You can see levels under the hierarchies:

You can see the levels of a hierarchy by pressing “ ”:

With the help of “ ” and “ ” buttons you can expand the data to the desired level of details in the table as well:

The level of details can be set in another way. You can see two shelves in the top part of the page: “Rows” and “Columns”. There are controls on them. Those controls allow us to know which data are displayed in the table. With the help of the dropdown you can set the necessary level of details:

If you select some level of details, e.g. “Subcategory”,

you’ll be able to made detailing greater or smaller with the help of the buttons + and – (to the left of the control).

To search in the hierarchy tree of measures and sets of a specific level/measure/set, a quick search is provided:
