Users desiring to have the chart update as they make changes can choose Auto Apply
from the View menu; with this option, the chart or grid updates as soon as the mouse
moves off the Setup Panel. Many users prefer the Auto Apply setting, but when
making selections that may result in long-running queries, users may accidentally
move off the Setup Panel before they??™re ready and then spend seconds or minutes
waiting for the query to execute before they can finish making their changes.
The Setup Panel has two tabs: Hierarchies and Select Items. A user can click
on a hierarchy or the Measures item and then click on the Select Items, or simply
double-click on the choice and this will open the Select Items tab. For example, to
change the measure being displayed, the user can double-click on the Measures item
and the Select Items tab will appear with a list of all the measures. As explained
earlier in this chapter, there cannot be multiple measures in the background at once,
but selecting multiple measures here will create a drop-down for the chart, which
ProClarity refers to as Slicers. Figure 6-31 shows three measures selected in the
Setup Panel and the resulting Slicer that appears above the chart.
Double-clicking on a hierarchy (either user or attribute) in the Hierarchies tab
opens the Select Items tab and allows users to select individual members of that
hierarchy. For example, assume that the current query has Gross Profit in the
Background, the Product Categories hierarchy in the Rows, and Date.
