Data Trees
If all levels and members appear, the data trees might be difficult to use. After packages are deployed to IBM® Cognos® software, you can specify how data trees appear in the studios. For more information, see Deployment
The settings do not affect the model. They affect only the package configuration. The settings for a package are obtained by the studios when a report is opened. The settings are also obtained when an Analysis Studio analysis is opened in IBM Cognos Viewer.
The following table specifies that settings that are available.
| Setting |
Purpose |
|---|---|
| Default member limit in a data tree level |
In Analysis Studio, specifies the number of members that appear at one time in one level of the data tree. For example, if this is set to 10, and the maximum member limit is set to 20, Analysis Studio users see only the first ten members and must click More to see the next ten. At this point, they see the maximum number and they must then search for a specific member. If your data tree has only 50 members, you may want to set this to 55 so that users do not have to click a link to see all members. Default: 20 |
| Maximum member limit in a data tree level |
For all studios, specifies the maximum number of members that appear in one level of the data tree. If a member does not appear in the data tree, the user can search for that specific member. If your data tree is large, you might want to set this to a low number so that users can find the member they are looking for faster when they are searching. Default: 50 |
