Existing customer is using Guided Reporting and has multiple Drop Down Boxes.
They would like to select the first Dimension's Drop Down Box (Entity) and only See valid choices for the second one.
In their example, if they choose a Philadelphia Entity they only want to see the Departments (Ud2) that are valid for Philadelphia.
Is there tagging or another method where this can be done dynamically? Or worst case scenario, a hard coded list of what are valid combinations?
Thanks very much.

Hi doconnel: yes this is possible using the TextN fields of the target dimensions and member filter logic.
An example layout would look as follows (this assumes usage in a Workflow context, but you can modify as needed):
Component Description | Combo box | Combo Box's Parameter | Parameter's Member Filter (Member List Type) |
Entity Selection | cbx_Select_Entity | Select_Entity_WF | E#Root.WFProfileEntities |
U2 Selection ("Department") | cbx_Select_Department | Select_Department_WF | U2#YourTopOfDepartmentName.DescendantsInclusive.Where(Text1 Contains |!Select_Entity_WF!|) |
The key to making this work is two fold:
Make sure the first selection refreshes the dashboard component that contains the U2 Selection else the list won't show the relevant items. Hope the above makes sense and happy to field follow-ups.
Cheers,
