Hello,

I've been asked to produce an Info App like the one in this image:



I am able to put together a basic prototype but I am a bit stumped by the "Select a Data Source" drop-down. Does anyone know of any online documentation that explains how to implement this?

Thanks!

Aaron

I think that the solution is to create a fex that will generate a "source" file (output format XML) that can then be used to populate the list box data for "Select a Data Source".

What exactly do you expect the data source drop down to change? If you are actually changing the data source, won't your other fields need to be updated to? Have you figured out how you plan to do that? If for some reason the fields don't change but your data source does, then I would just hard code the select box and make the table file request an amper variable. If your field selection needs to change, you can look into using the SYSCOLUM master file to get a list of fields to populate your boxes with.

I don't know how you expect this to work, but their might be a few things that you need to determine still for how you want your info app to function.

Eric,
Consider that the "Data source" are all about sales aggregated differently (meaning data mart) such as by category, salesman, region, state,...
They may have all the same metrics and information except the "group by" level, so having one selection screen where only the data source change may have a lot of sense and no need to refresh selection list boxes.
