Filtering the element caption using a global variable

This example procedure is based on the Best Practices sample database supplied with Application Studio and uses a hyperblock created from the Product dimension.
  1. Create a report variable named rv_ProductCaption.
  2. Set the value of the variable to the caption of an element of the Product dimension (for example All Season Tires).
  3. In Design Mode, click the hyperblock.
    The List Designer is enabled.
  4. Click Filter in the List Designer.
  5. Click New Filter.
  6. In Filter Settings, select Filter By > Caption.
  7. Select Filter Type > String
  8. Select Condition > Equals
  9. Click the browse button in the Value field and select rv _ProductCaption from the list of global variables.
    The list now contains all elements containing the same caption as the variable (that is, All Season Tires).
