Message for users in contributor views

Post by EP_explorer »

I have contributor application with several views.

I want to add a message in one of views. It may be under area of data input for example or in the another place. I need it to inform users to do some things.

I remember it was possible to do in EP. But i don't know how to do it in TM1.
May be it possible to use some service cubes.

I tried to add a message as cube help message in Performance Modeler, but didn't find this message nowhere.

If you are using pure contributor with views only then you can include a view pulling string cells from a "help text" cube. Not a very pretty solution but gets the job done-

If you are integrating websheets into a contributor application then you can design a excel sheet with help instructions pretty much as you like or design your own html help page a hyperlink to it from the websheet.

If using Cognos Insight as distributed contribution client you can do similar with instructions and the like but then you can't use websheets so it is one or the other.

I tried to do it in Insight. Put text line in one of views when I open Tm1 application (contributor application) in Insight.

But unfortunately this line appears in all views. And I wanted only in one of them
