Edit Element Formats option missing

Post by Toto »

Hello, in the docu I have the possibility to generate rule-based formatting. I read that I have to choose the "edit element formats" button in the subset editor but I could not find it. Do I have to change smth in the tm1s.cfg file to get it or anywhere else?

Thanks a lot,

Toto

According to your info you are using 9.5. I believe Element formatting via the subset editor that you are referring to was for dynamic slices. As of 9.4 that went the way of the dinosaurs so you won't find it in your version (and a good thing too, it was awful compared to active forms.)

You can still apply formatting to elements but it will apply only to the cube viewer, you do this via the edit element attributes dialog. If you want to apply a rule this can be done in the }ElementAttributes_<dimension> cube by applying a string rule to the Format attribute.
