This page deals with custom functionality related to Information Sources with the purpose to in a better way support List-of-Values (LoV) functionality in IFS Reporting related to IFS Business Reporter reports.
In IFS Business Reporter it is possible to get LoV support for any attribute, even Fact attributes. The normal case is however to create report parameters based on dimension attributes and when the report is executed it is always possible to list valid values for each parameter. However, when a IFS Business Reporter report is published to IFS Reporting, it is quite common that it is not possible to get any support for LoV. For a customer this is of course hard to understand but technically it is not so strange, since LoV handling in Applications is different from how IFS Business Reporter handles it.
The Custom Dimension LoV functionality provides the possibility for customers to configure LoV support for dimension attributes that are referenced by IFS Business Reporter parameters and that lack the LoV support in IFS Reporting.
