Ways of create pseudo hierarchies

[EP_explorer]

Sometimes it is necessary to show for users pseudo hierarchies which are looking like a hierarchy but they are not

For example like this
(see theme about it here

But it seems this idea doesn't work properly

The only way which comes to my mind is create alias which look like

And it looks in view like

But first variant looks better because in the second one I have to add symbol '-' in start of element in alias - unfortunattely I can't start from spaces ' ' in names

So may be somebody could give me idea how to show pseudo hierarchies which would look like the first case.

You can use the ASCII ALT-255 character as a indenting prefix in an alias. This is a space character but is not ignored by TM1 as are regular spaces.

When I tried to input alt+255 in Attributes Editor it saves only without first empty places - think it is a space anyway.

But helps

Code: Select all

  str1=Char(160) |  '  Regions_lev1';
  AttrPutS(str1, 'Regions', 'Regions_lev1', 'Reg_name');

So shouldn't your code use Char(255)? Are you getting the desired effect with Char(160)?

[EP_explorer]

Yes.
If I useChar(255) in TI process it puts the symbol of national alphabit - not space, but if I put Char(160) - it works.

If I put Alt+255 by hands in Attribute Editor it puts space but it doesn't save with space - simply delete spaces before first letter
