Use the new Selector visualization in place of selector widgets in your books
In Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.89, a new Selector visualization is available to replace selector list and selector tile widgets in books.
If an administrator does not explicitly enable the new Selector visualization feature, existing selector list and selector tile widgets in books remain unchanged until the enablement release for this feature, which is scheduled for Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.93.
When the new Selector visualization feature is enabled, any existing selector list or selector tile widget in a book is converted to a Selector visualization when you open the book. The visualization is styled to most closely replicate the widget it replaces.
Regardless of the enablement status of the new Selector visualization feature, Selector visualizations can be created from the Visualization pane in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.89.
The Selector visualization behaves much as selector list and selector tile widgets did, but there are multiple Custom visualization properties that you can apply to tailor the visualization for your purposes.
There are several ways to insert a Selector visualization into a book. In all cases, the book must be in Edit mode.
- From the Data tree:
- On the Data tree, fully expand the Dimensions node beneath the cube for which you want to create a Selector visualization. You can create a Selector only from the Dimensions node beneath a cube. You can't create a Selector from the main Dimensions node.
- Right-click the dimension, hierarchy, or subset that you want to use as a Selector.
- Click Add as selector.
- From the Visualizations pane:
- Click the Visualizations icon to open the pane.
- Click the Selector icon.
- From the Data tree, drag and drop a dimension, hierarchy, set, or level onto the visualization placeholder.
- From an exploration, click the dimension tile that you want to use as a selector, then drag the dimension to an empty space on the book.
