Title: Navigation path in datamodules
Post by: bergsorensen on 02 Oct 2024 02:52:51 AM
First :)

We have all our excisting models in Framework Manager, and atm. no ressourcer to move this to a datamodules setup.

Though the navigation paths functionality in datamodules is very interesting.

Is there a similar functionlality in FM?

Thanks
Kasper

Hi,

Navigation Paths in a Data Module are similar to Regular Dimensions in Framework Manager, in that they provide a set of logical steps to "drill down" and "drill up" through levels of data. With Regular Dimensions you'd also need to define Measure Dimensions in FM, though, and the resultant reporting style would be different - your FM package would emulate an OLAP cube rather than a relational set of data.

Cheers!
