New Parameter of LOV for BO 4.0

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm now using Infomation Design tool of Business Objects 4.0.

I checked the parameteres of LOV, and I found new one which is " force users to filter value before use".

(Go to dimension propety -> Advance -> List of value -> Associate LOV

if you select default LOV, you can check "Force users to filter value before use.

There are some other parameter like "Allow users to edit LOV" or "Automatic refresh before use" etc.)

If anyone knows about this parameter, please let me know what dose it mean.

Thank you

Hello Shion,

If selected, the user running a query using this LOV is required to enter search criteria before getting filtered values for the LOV. Only the values that match the search criteria are returned in the LOV. Characters used to define the matching criteria are:

• - Matches any number of characters, even zero characters.

? - Matches exactly one character.

\ - Escapes the next character allowing you to search for a wildcard character.

Thanks,

Vivek
