IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · CUBE VIEWS · UNDO AND REDO

Undo and redo in cube views.
Take a step back. Or forward again.

Moved rows and columns and want to return to the previous layout? Undo and redo let you step backwards and forwards through changes to your cube view. Try another arrangement without manually reconstructing each earlier step.

The short answer

Use Undo on the cube view toolbar to reverse the last change. Use Redo to reapply it. Each view keeps up to 20 steps in its history. Available from PAW 2.1.16 or 3.1.3.

Read the video summary

Additional clicks move back through the available earlier steps. Click Redo to reapply a step you have undone. Then check the arrangement of rows and columns.
