Element Description
Design
New Matrix Creates a matrix at the selected cell in the work area. When enabling the matrix, you can select either the financial workspace or a dataset, virtiìual dataset or a AIH datsource of your choice.
Dimension panel Shows/ hides the dimensions panel.
Filters panel Shows/Hides the filter panel where the filters applied to the selected matrix are listed by dimension/hierarchy.
Properties panel Shows/hides the property panel of the selected cell.
Enable segment Shows/hides intercompany data related to Entities within a chosen Entity node. Intercompany data are displayed in the filter panel and in rows/columns containing a hierarchy: - entity - custom 2 - counterparty entity - custom dimension 2 IMPORTANT: Be sure to update the matrix to display current data. Note: function not available if there are multiple matrices or for matrices drawn on the Analytical Workspace.
Do not repeat headers If enabled, it shows the headings of rows/columns of nested dimensions only when one of the dimensions changes and not on all rows/columns. This improves the readability of data.
Display mode Selects which dimension information (code, description, code and description) to display for all matrices in the following places: - in the dimensions panel - in the filter panels - in the row/column headers By default, an empty SmartInsight sheet displays the information defined in the form display settings (see Settings window).
View
Hide 0 rows If enabled, hides rows with a value of zero in all cells. If the SmartInsight sheet is the result of a web form 2.0 conversion, the form setting is inherited. Note: not available if there are several matrices. IMPORTANT: Be sure to update the matrix to display current data. IMPORTANT: The function also applies to changing or inconsistent matrices. Then all rows and columns could be hidden and only the refresh button would remain visible.
Hide 0 columns If enabled, hides columns with value zero in all cells. If the SmartInsight sheet is the result of a web form 2.0 conversion, the form setting is inherited. Note: not available if there are several matrices. IMPORTANT: Be sure to update the matrix to display current data. IMPORTANT: The function also applies to changing or inconsistent matrices. Then all rows and columns could be hidden and only the refresh button would remain visible.
Remove 0 values If enabled (button with dark grey background), deletes all rows and columns with value zero in the data update operation on a matrix. Note: the operation only affects the matrix being updated IMPORTANT: Deletion of rows and columns is irreversible. IMPORTANT: If the matrix has no data, only the refresh button is shown on the screen without any header.
Add
Children/Lowest/All descendants/ Siblings Set the drill-down. If enabled, when a row/column header is double-clicked, it adds as many rows/columns to the matrix as the following elements: - the children of the aggregate node in the row/column header (Children). - the lowest level elements of the aggregate node in the row/column header (Lowest). - the leaves of the aggregate node in the row/column header (All descendants). - the siblings of the aggregate node in the row/column header (Siblings). Note: The Siblings option does not apply for dimension root nodes.
Auto-refresh Enables automatic matrix update after a drill-down.
