Loading Secure Filter Options On The Fly

Posted in Pentaho Hints and Tips by admin on the August 14th, 2007

Another rather obvious tip but certainly useful.

If you want to load the selections for a secure filter/prompt in a xaction dynamically, then in the editor select a Get Data -> relational

Input the query to retrieve the relevant information and then setup the result-set at the bottom of the page and assign the columns.

The in the Secure Filter/Prompt do the usual just selecting the dynamic result-set. As long as the details are correct you will see the query results next time you run the xaction.
