Data Item List

The Data Item List displays the available data items contained in the node selected in the data item hierarchy.

The details displayed in the Data Item List can be changed by using the Show Current Node and Show Current Sub-Tree buttons on the Toolbar: The Show Current Node button displays only those items from the current node of the item selected in the data item hierarchy. The Show Current Sub-Tree button displays items from the current node and all sub-nodes of the item selected in the data item hierarchy.

When Filter Designer (FLD) is run without specifying a business unit, the descriptions displayed in the data item list are the default data item descriptions from the Default Database Definition. To display business unit specific data item descriptions, it is necessary to specify or change the business unit view.

Data items that have already been used as conditions in the current filter can be hidden within the data item list by clicking the Hide Used Data Items button. If you have not chosen to hide used data items, they are identified by a single barred indicator singlebar.png to their left if used once in the current filter, or a double barred indicator to their left if used more than once in the current filter.

The default position of the Data Item List is the bottom left of the Filter Designer (FLD) dialog.
