Input

The input field enables the user to type in their own values that will then be sent into the cube. It is very powerful as it can create real-time data changes.

Common Use Properties

• Cube Property To link the input box to a location where the user’s input will be sent, the cube must be specified. Enter the cube name into this property.

  INFO

  This will not work without the Location Property being filled

• Location Property The specific intersection of the cube must be defined here. This is the cube location which the content of the Input should relate to. This property must be wrapped in square brackets.

  INFO

  This will not work without the Cube Property being filled

  If only empty square brackets are used in the Location property, the input box will first search for context from the table or list it is inside (if inside one), then the context panel.

• Input Style Property The input box is able to be used in various ways using the following settings for the property.

  • Direct The input box will be in its default form.

  • Markdown The input box will have a header that enables markdown styling tools to be used when typing into it (Bold, Italics, Ordered List and Unordered Lists). This is ideal for use with String Measures.

TIP

If the relative field the input links to utilizes validations, the input component will automatically pick up on this and create a selectable. No properties need to be adjusted for this.
