Using Cross-Report Indexes › Cross-Report Value Selection › Select Cross-Report Values

Select Cross-Report Values

You can select an Index Value from the list of possible index values. Additionally, you can mask your index value choices and reduce the list of choices.

Follow these steps:

1. Select an Index or Multiple Part Index.

   The Index Value Selection pane is displayed.

   Note: For more information about the procedure to select an index or multiple part indexes, see Select Cross-Report Indexes.

2. (Optional) Do one of the following:
   1. Select As Uppercase.

      All the index values or values masks, such as R*, that you type are converted to uppercase.

   2. Select As Type.

      All the index values or values masks, such as R*, you type are retained in the case you typed them.

3. Find the Indexes table.

   The index name is listed next to a text box where you can enter a value or a value mask.

   In the case of a multiple part index, the Indexes table lists each index name, with a text box next to it, as a row in the table.

4. (Optional) Enter value mask in one or more of the index value text boxes.

   Note: Index value filter rules may apply if the system administrator has the index value filter rules defined in the admin repository property level.

   To enter the value mask for a particular index, find the value text box in the same row of that index.

   Note: A value mask is a partial value entry that uses a wildcard, such as 5?5 or T*. An asterisk wildcard matches zero or more characters; a question mark wildcard matches a single character. The default mask is a single asterisk, *.

5. Click Get Values.

   A table of possible index values is displayed. Each possible value is displayed as a link in a row of the table.

   Note:

   If you are using multiple part indexes, each possible value is a combination of several index parts. For example, a value might look like: valueForIndex1:valueForIndex2:valueForIndex3.

   If you get a message, such as, there are no index values that match the above search criteria, try changing your value masks.

6. (Optional) Use navigation arrows to list other possible index values:
   • >> displays the last group of possible index values
   • > displays the next group of possible index values
   • < displays the previous group of possible index values
   • << displays the first group of possible index values
7. Click the link for the index value.

   A list of report sections that each match the index-value pair you selected is displayed.
