Chapter 13 Creating Analytic Grids

No Auto Select

Select to suppress the system from automatically retrieving data from the

analytic calculation engine. If you select No Auto Select, you must use the

LoadData method to load the analytic grid with data.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode API Reference,

“Analytic Grid Classes,” LoadData.

This item is not available if Freeze C olumn Mode has been selected.

No Auto Load/Unload

Analytic Instance

Determines w

hether and how you load the analytic instance for the analytic

grid.

• If you do not select this option, you can supply an analytic instance ID on

the Analytics tab to have the analytic grid automatically load that analytic

instance. If the analytic grid auto loads the analytic instance, it uses the

default timeout setting and also recalculates the model. The analytic instance

is unloaded when the user naviga tes out of the component.

Another option for supplying the analytic instance I D is to use the Analytic

Grid Class SetAnalyticInstance method.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode API Reference,

“Analytic Grid Classes,” SetAnalyticInstance.

• If you select this option, the analytic instance is not loaded automatically. In

this case, use the PeopleCode a nalytic instance classes to load the analytic

instance into the grid. If you do not use a PeopleCode program to load the

data, no analytic instance is loaded.

Sort Orde

This check box is enabled only if Freeze Column Mode h as been selected.

Selecting this option enables the end user to sort the data in the frozen columns.

Display Only

In some c

ases, you might design grids that enable end users to view but not

change i

nformation. Select this check box if you do not want the end user to

enter da

ta into the fields in any of the rows. End users can still manipulate the

grid to

display a new view of their data, but they cannot update the actual

data di

splayed in the analytic grid.

If the g

rid is display only, obviously all the fields within the grid are display

only. H

owever, if the grid is not display only, there are several possibilities:

• If fields are display only, the analytic grid honors that.

• If fields are not display only, they are editable as long as they are

nonaggregate values.

• If fields are dimensions, they are display only u nless the dimension is

on the slicer axis.

Inactive

The analytic grid does not display to end users and no data is loaded into the

analytic grid data, thus no data is available to the application developer

using PeopleCode.

Wrap Column Label

Select whether column labels wrap if they are too long to fit within the column

at its current width. If you do not select this option, columns widen as needed

to accommodate long column labels.
