Hi everyone,
I'm trying to include a dropdown box in a BI 7 web template to display a number of characteristic values. On selection, a variable should be changed to update all reports. Usually not a big problem, the dropdown can be attached to a variable.
BUT:
I would like to have control over the values being displayed in the dropdown, for which I need to attach it to a query (dataprovider). My problem now is to get the selected value and assign that to the variable. I have been able to set some arbitrary value, but not the one I selected. In addition, there are multiple queries in the web template which need to be updated, all having the same variable.
Any ideas on this?
Regards,
Tilman
Hi,
I have not tried this but, here is a suggestion. Can try to achieve this with Javascript.
What I mean is on the action for Dropdown attach a Javascript that will change the Value of variable ?
Hope this gets you started. If I try and work out a solution will let you Post it back

Hi,
thanks for your post. I was considering creating a url via javascript as well, but unfortunately, there are more than one variables in the template, so I would have to take care of potential other values too. I wouldn't know how to read these in javascript when creating the url....
