M2M Designer Restrictions

How does it work?

• An admin defines in the plugin config file the M2M fields:
  • Set Cube, dimension, and default value.
  • Supports multiple filter restrictions. Also over different cubes.
• The plugin automatically adds the filter to each new dashboard based on this cube:
  • The filter is locked and cannot be deleted.
  • Filter is set to the configured default member.
• Filter behavior:
  • The filter forces the designer to Single Selection (multi selection is hidden).
  • When a designer tries to click on the selected member (to exclude it for example) - click functionality is disabled, so one value will always be selected.
  • Filter cannot be disabled/deleted: Neither in the dashboard filter pane or in the widget filters pane (“disable all filters" option is also hidden).
  • Designer can lock the filter or set it as a background filter.
  • When the designer tries to add a formula filter using the restricted filter - the plugin applies similar limitation to those he has when he tries to manipulate the filter from the dashboard.
• Groups settings:
  • Option to completely hide the restricted filter from specific users groups.
  • Option to disable the plugin's functionality for other specific user groups (like Admin).
• Works seamlessly with our Advanced Filters plugin as well.
