Annotation - Comments
Hello, The customer would like to explain a dollar variance between Budget and Actual by leveraging 4 columns of data to explain the difference displayed: enter a dollar amount, a combo box to select a type of UD1 data timing (Perm/Temp) and another combo box to select UD8 driver type (Audit Change/Scope Change) with the last column for a comment. The comment input cell has the following: V#Annotation with UD3&UD5 based upon the CV POV selection and the remaining UD's set to None; V#Annotation:UD1#None:UD8#None. For reporting purposes the customer would like to associate the commentary entered with the Combo Box selections made for UD1 and UD8. V#Annotation:UD1#Perm:UD8#AuditChange What is the best method to do this? I have tried the following: api.Data.Calculate("U8#AuditChange:V#Annotation:U1#Perm":O#Import" _ & " = U8#None:V#Annotation:U1#None:O#Top")
Dashboard to show annotations details, footnote details, assumptions, variance explanations ...
Dear Community, It is very easy for a user to add comments on a given cell, using data attachments : However, what are the reporting possibilities for such comments ? Could we use them in dashboard, for instance to be shown as footnote of a dashboard ? Or could these be used as footnotes in pixel-perfect pdf documents generated from a cube view ? Many thanks,Annotations Printed to PDF
I have created a Flux Analysis Cube View with Annotations/Comments. Everything is working as expected until I export to PDF. The Annotations/Comments are not printing to PDF, but columns themselves are. The interesting things is that the comments are there when I export to excel. Any ideas why this is happening and is there something I need to do to get the comments to print to PDF. Thanks!
Security on Annotations/Audit Comments/Variance Explanations
Hi, we would like to build a report with two columns with comments Annotations/AuditComments/VarianceExplanations). Each column needs to be filled in by a different team. The two teams need to be able to read each other comments. I am using UD3 to distinguish these two type of comments (as the requirements ask for variance explanation from more than 4 teams) The problem I am running into is that the varianceexplanaiton column is open for everyone to edit as long as that person has access to that cubeview. I have not found a way to make one column read-only and the other read-and-write depending on the security group. The "Can Modify Data" setting in the cube view does not seem to do anything. Anyone who can help on this?
How do we get comments from a cubeview visualized in the pdf report?
We have cubeviews were we have enabled "Include Cell Attachment Status" and we want all comments printed on the PDF report at the end with reference to the POV, is that possible and if yes how do we do it? We have used Annotation Detail as we what our users to be able to have answers questions in a new Annotation Detail. Any advice highly appreciated! // Katarina
Behavior Origin on Annotaton
For planning I have 3 rows with the same account Origin; Beforeadj (Aggregation) Import (Shows seeded actuals) Forms (Input) Scenario's in the columns and a separate column we have comments. (Annotation) We overwrite the Import and Beforeadj with forms. Means it will show 3x times the same text in the row. Anybody knows how to bypass the origin behavior? We basically want to post on all the 3 rows separate comments.
