Hello folks,
I have a bit of a unique requirement. Also I am new to Design Studio 1.3.
I need to capture a dimension value ( email) on the fly based on the selection of dimension ( customer) from another crosstab without changing the structure or putting filters on the customer table. Here is the breakdown also please see the attached picture for further explanation:
User selects a customer from crosstab A. The onSelect script for Crosstab A filters a hidden Crosstab B which contains the customer and his email. I need to pick up the email value from crosstab B dynamically without any selections by user and put in a variable which in turn calls the default email client and populates the email field.
So far I am able to achieve this manually, meaning that once I filter on the crosstab B I have to select the filtered row to get the email variable populated with the customer email.
I just need to know if this can be automated at all? Or if there is a better way of doing this. Keep in mind both crosstabs are based on the same query but edited differently in the initial view. Is there a possibility I can take Crosstab B out of the whole equation and achieve this with just Crosstab A without changing the current structure and have the customer email as a background filter?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
