The available source/target scenarios should ideally be based on the selected DM process?

We have a dashboard for seeding all required data from source to target scenario for a given range of periods. The "Select seeding process" cbx represents separate DM sequences, each with its own BR attached. The available source/target scenarios should ideally be based on the selected DM process. For example, if user wants to seed Actuals PxQ to FC, then the source should be only S#ActualMan and the target should be 1 of the 12 Forecast scenarios (S#Forecast_M9 etc). Currently they can select any source to seed to any target, independent of the selected DM process.

    Is this dashboard button setup to call DM jobs that then execute a custom calculate? If so, pass in the parameter that is attached to the "Select Seeding Process" combox box to the DM job you are executing in the "Seed Scenario button". You would essentially be parameterizing and dynamically setting what DM job to execute in the Seed scenario button based on what you select in the combo box. From there, you can pass in the parameters attached to the combo boxes for source scenario, target scenario, etc, to the data management steps. I will attach a KB article on how to pass in combo box selections from a dashboard to a dashboard button to a DM Job.
