Listen to Master-Detail Events

Use this box to specify whether the gauge is to act as a detail view in a master-detail relationship and listen for master-detail events. If you select this box, then complete the Event Channels field.

For more information on master-detail relationships, see "What Is Master-Detail Linking of Views?"

Event Channels

This field is enabled only if you select the Listen to Master-Detail Events box.

Use this field to enter the name of one or more channels on which the gauge is to listen for master-detail events raised by one or more master views. The channel name is case sensitive and must match exactly the channel name specified in the master view. Separate channels with commas, for example, channel a, channel b.

Include Null Values

Use this check box to override null suppression set at the analysis level. When selected for the gauge view, null values will not be suppressed for the gauge rows that contain all nulls. See "Understanding Null Suppression" for additional information.
