Check current user selection in UI

Post by lav4you »

Hi,

I am wondering if there there is any option to programmatically know the current user selection on a cube viewer in PAW or TM1Web.

I understand there is Drill option but drill would only capture the latest one element. Also there is keep option in PAW but there is no programmatic way to access this selection.

Is there way to know the all selected members if user has selected multiple elements like shown in the below image.

Is there a hidden magic trick? :D

The only way would be to add an element to your column dimension (perhaps named “Selected”), then if a user inputs a value or picks a value in a picklist, you can programmatically identify which elements have been selected.
I've started blogging about TM1, check it out: www.havaslabs.com

Take care,

Thanks Adam,

For you suggestion.
I am aware of this option to use picklist and draw your selection from the cube.

I was wondering if there is another faster and better option achieve the same because this is just a UI exercise.
