Report Parameter Behavior
Preview Date: 2025-02-08. Production Date: 2025-03-15.
We now enhance report parameter behavior to provide consistency and automated selection for available choices.
Business Benefits
You can now:
- Create report parameters consistently, regardless of how you add them.
- Automatically include new values as available.
Changes
When you create new report parameters using levels, dimensions, and attributes:
- If all the values except the (only) and (uncategorized) are selected, then any new values are automatically selected as available choices.
- Irrespective of whether you add the parameters from the report filters or the report rows and columns, the behavior is now consistent.
What Do I Need to Do?
This feature only applies to all new reports. For any existing reports, you need to manually update the available parameter choices and save.
What Happens If I Do Nothing?
This feature only applies to all new reports. Any existing reports don’t reflect the latest behavior.
Deployment Considerations
Review any existing report designs or administrative processes to see if you can take advantage of this functionality. This may eliminate the usage of “values only” type of Attributes that help filter out Uncategorized members.
