IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · CUBE VIEWS · VIEW SWITCHER

Enable the view switcher by default.
Set it once. Switch views directly.

Do you want the view switcher ready whenever you add a new cube view? IBM Planning Analytics Workspace lets you enable it by default in your user settings. Your saved views are then within easy reach.

The short answer

Open your user settings, go to Cube viewer and enable the view switcher. This personal default is available from PAW 2.1.19 or 3.1.6.

Open your settings in PAW. To define a default, use your user settings rather than only changing the options of one cube view. Go to Cube viewer and enable the view switcher option. This preference applies to your user profile. Add a new cube view to a book or create a view in the Modeling Workbench. Check that the switcher appears, then select a saved view.
