excluding characteristic attributes in BI query

[Former Member]

Hi.

I'm trying to exclude some attributes that are part of a free characteristic in a BI Report. I tried setting the attributes to "no display", but that just changes the default setting, which can be changed back by the person who runs it to display the key.

I also don't think changing these attributes from DIS to NAV will prevent them from displaying. They just need to be removed, but still available for future use.

I've looked in Query Designer and don't see any way to accomplish this.

Please help.

Thanks,

Kevin

I am trying to get a handle on the language.

how do your users run these reports?

what is a "free characteristic" ?

"They just need to be removed, but still available for future use."

for the reports side just delete the fields and add them back when they are needed
