About B.I. Essentials

This task explains concepts of the B.I. Essentials.

The following considerations should be taken into account:

  • Multi-selection behavior for labels: If you select more than 50 objects, the labels can become unreadable and will therefore not be displayed. (A setting, Me > Preferences > General > Display > Navigation tab > Limit display of manipulators to x elements, enables you to modify this limit.)
  • In a search results, there is shading on all objects but no labels on selected objects.
  • In the labels corresponding to Lock Status, the user ids will be as defined in the database instead of as defined in the collaboration system.
  • Tree and B.I. Essentials synchronization: There can be inconsistent information displayed for the same object in the tree and in the label or shading.
  • Groups of objects can be selected by right-clicking the legend label of the attribute corresponding to the objects you want to select. You can then use the context menu to launch a given command on the entire set of selected objects.
  • The information that can be revealed via B.I. Essentials is contextual to the active app. For details, see your app documentation.
  • Search always has the priority for the focus of the B.I. Essentials.
