How are data elements specified for evaluation?

In the Assigned data dialog, specify the data to be evaluated in the different areas of a section.

Has repetitions

If you want to query data in the repetition area, enable the Has repetitions option; otherwise, you cannot assign data in the Data for the repetition field, and the repetition area is not displayed in the corresponding section of the report script template.

Available data

Here, the data elements for your queries are available in a hierarchical structure. The available data depends on the context that has been set and on the superior query. If you insert a query in the top section with the set context, the context represents the first superior query.

Below a superior query, such as here Selected groups, all data elements which you can evaluate are listed. If you expand an item in the list (for example, Model list (filterable)), all items that you can further query for the models in the selected groups (for example, Object definitions) are displayed. The data element Model list returns all models of the selected groups for the query, and Object definitions returns all object definitions of the models found.

If the phrase filterable is added to an item, a filter can be set for this item such as the filter Connection type for the data element Connection occurrences (filterable by type). A tooltip indicates which filters can be set for an item in the Parameters dialog.

Globally available data is also available for evaluation, independent of superior queries.

Data for the repetition

You can set only one query for the repetition area. The data assigned is displayed in the corresponding section of the report script. Data that only contains one item, such as superior group, cannot be queried in the repetition area, but can only be assigned to the static area. Data elements for the repetition area have a particular list symbol (compare attribute list and attribute for example).

Data for static area

You can assign several data elements to the static area for evaluation. The data assigned to the area is not displayed in the report script.
