You can view this video to learn how to use context sensitive action buttons.
Before you begin
About this task
Use a script that was created by the Import wizard to reimport data with the click of a button. If you use a script that the administrator added to the Cognos TM1 server, you must be authorized to connect to the server.
Action buttons that run a TurboIntegrator (TI) process can be synchronized so that one or more parameters for the TI process can be obtained from the workspace.
Note:
- Parameter names are passed as string values, even if the value of a parameter is not a string.
- A context-sensitive parameter acts like any object in the synchronization model except, when more than one item is selected, multiple values are not included as parameters.
- You must supply the invariant name of the parameter only. Even if a caption is displayed in the workspace, the invariant name must be used to specify the dimension. The invariant name of the selected element is passed to the TI process as a parameter.
