Data type-specific (rich) selection criteria (custom data source)

[former_member201819]

Hello Experts,

I just created a data source via SDK.

Therein, there is a data field of the type "Date".

What I intended was, later to be able to select/filter in a report by definining "rich" data type specific selection criteria like this:

Unfortunately, it seems that regarding my data source, ByD does not recognize the data types of my characteristics.

Therefore, only distinct values are available as selection-/filter-criteria:

My characteristics only seem to be "flat" data types.

Does anyone know how to make my characteristics "data type aware" so it would be possible to use mathematical operators like "<", ">" etc. for selecting/filtering?

Kind Regards
Pablo

OK, I figured it out. This configuration has to be made in the front end via WoC "Business Analytics">"Design Reports">"Edit With">"Report Wizard".

Therein, you first have to set the "Value Selection" in Step 4 "Characteristic Properties" to "Using Variable":

Based on this setting, you can then choose to offer these "rich selection criteria" I am talking about in the following Step 5 "Define Variables":

Kind Regards
