Viewer Enabled – Use the Viewer Enabled checkboxes to adjust the enabled status for measures, which controls if measures are available to use in views. As a shortcut to selecting all, select the main Viewer Enabled checkbox in the heading above the individual checkboxes.

  • Selected – means the measure will be available when adding measure items to views. For example, the measures will be available when using the Add Measure Item and Select Measures windows.

  • Deselected – means the measure won’t be available when adding measure items to views. The measures won’t show in the Add Measure Item or Select Measures windows, for example.

Note: Changing a status from Yes to No in cases where a measure is used already for measure items in views does not impact existing measure items in those views. The measure will still show up in windows used to edit measure items in views and the measure items will still be included in those existing views. But, the measure won’t be available to add to other views.

Planning Allowed – Use the Planning Allowed checkboxes to adjust the status of the measures in planning views. As a shortcut to selecting all, select the main Planning Allowed checkbox in the heading above the individual checkboxes.

  • Selected – means the measure can be edited in planning views by users with roles that give users planning update rights to such measures.

  • Deselected – means planning features will not be active for the measure in planning views. A lock icon displays in planning views next to measures that have a Planning Enabled status of Yes and Planning Allowed status of No.

Planning Allowed checkboxes will be greyed out and unavailable if a measure isn’t Planning Enabled. A Planning Enabled measure is one that belongs to a Category (measure group) that has been Update Enabled in Stratum.Connector for Viewer.

Data Copy Enabled and Data Copy Allowed – Use the Data Copy Enabled checkbox to define which measures can be used as Target measures in Data Copies and use the Data Copy Allowed checkbox to define which measures can have data copies processed for them. Data can be copied into measures that are designated as “Data Copy Enabled”. Data Copies can be processed for measures that are designated as “Data Copy Allowed”. As a shortcut to selecting all checkboxes, select the main Enabled or Allowed checkbox in the heading above the individual checkboxes.

  • Data Copy EnabledSelecting this property means the measure can be updated by Data Copy and that you can define Data Copy Authority for users. Deselected means the measure is not enabled and can’t have its Data Copy Allowed status activated. Data Copy Allowed checkboxes will be greyed out and unavailable when the corresponding Data Copy Allowed checkboxes are deselected. Users also must be given Data Copy Authority to the measures (via their user profiles) to use the measures in data copies.

  • Data Copy Allowed Selected means the measure is currently available for Data Copy updates. Deselected means that the measure cannot be updated by Data Copy – that you cannot process a Data copy if it has this measure as its Target.
