LOV: Enabled vs Disabled Dimension Values

This page displays scenarios when List of Values (LOV) option is enabled or disabled for a Data Store.

In Reports, the LOV (List of Values) configuration determines how dimension values appear in the Filter panel. Dimensions can be either enabled (displaying sub-values with all filter operations) or disabled (restricting available filter options).

This functionality applies to both View Filters and Global Filters.

Accessing the LOV Option

You can access the List of Values (LOV) option from the Data Store within the Center module. Enabling or disabling this feature for a specific data store will take effect when creating a report based on that same data store.

Behavior of LOV Dimensions

Disabled Dimension Values

  • No sub-values are displayed.

  • Only Like and Not Like filter operations are available.

  • Users must manually provide sub-values for filtering.

Enabled Dimension Values

  • All sub-values are displayed.

  • All filter operations are available:

    • In

    • Not In

    • Like

    • Not Like

Example

  1. Disabled Dimension (e.g., State)

    • From the Global Filter panel, select State.

    • No sub-values are displayed.

    • Only Like and Not Like options are available.

    • Example: Apply Like = Jaipur → Report displays only Jaipur data.

    • Example: Apply Not Like = Jaipur → Report excludes Jaipur data.

  2. Enabled Dimension (e.g., City)

    • From the View Filter panel, select City.

    • Sub-values are displayed in the list.

    • All operations are available: In, Not In, Like, Not Like.

    • Example: Apply In = Delhi, Mumbai → Report shows only Delhi and Mumbai.

    • Example: Apply Not In = Kolkata → Report excludes Kolkata.

Steps to Apply Like / Not Like on Disabled Dimension

  1. Open the Global Filter panel.

  2. Select a disabled Dimension (e.g., State).

  3. Choose Like or Not Like from the drop-down.

  4. Manually enter a sub-value (e.g., Jaipur).

  5. Click Apply.

    • Like = Jaipur → Report shows Jaipur data.

    • Not Like = Jaipur → Report shows all data except Jaipur.

Notes:

  • Disabled Dimensions: No sub-values shown; only Like and Not Like are supported.

  • Enabled Dimensions: Sub-values shown; In, Not In, Like, Not Like options are supported.

  • This behavior is consistent across both View Filters and Global Filters.
