Creating Slicers

InfoAssist provides the ability to create slicers, dynamic selection criteria that can be used to filter reports and charts without saving explicit selection clauses to the procedure.

You can create slicers by dragging fields to the Slicers tab or through the context menu of a field. When you create a slicer group, it shows up on the Slicers tab.

You can use slicers to dynamically filter reports at design time in InfoAssist. You can dynamically filter reports at run time when they are included in an InfoMini application.

For details about creating and using slicers, see Using Slicers in the WebFOCUS InfoAssist User's Manual.
